A lot of clean fruit, a bit of tea and earth. Well made. Great value.

Simple quaffable Bordeaux - 100% Merlot! Red plum and red berries, hints of pencil shavings.

100% Merlot imported from the crew over @winebid. From the initial pop this had the essence of a New World wine as it was round and fruit forward. This is Merlot done right! ✔️

Still quite youthful and tannic. Fairly modern and extracted. Good, but not terribly interesting. Perhaps better in 5 years.

Deep Ruby. Colour, nose and palate led me to believe it was new world tasted blind. Ripe fruit 100% Merlot plummy notes with hints of tobacco. I would prefer the French to stick to their knitting and not mimic the New World.

Dark, pleasant aromatics with a flavor profile to match. Pair with food and surprise your friends at a party with this one.

Nice floral, fruity, and earthy aromas.
Dark red color, medium full body.
Very earthy, notes of clay, red fruit flavors. Tannins are there but integrated and soft. Long earthy finish. Great wine
$17 - not sure if it is 100% Merlot
