Good. Tasty. Fruity and a bit dry. Cranberries and strawberries. Pomegranate? Smooth.

Light purple hue with medium saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, graphite, oak, pepper, plum, raspberry, and strawberry, and vanilla. Medium-low tannins and low acidity. Smooth and surprisingly complex on the palate with an easy-going finish. A table wine for any occasion.

Decent wine at a decent price. Great with salad and baguette, but only because it complements the opposite side of the spectrum.

Enjoyed with Beef Tenderloin and Bacon wrapped Scallops.
Smooth from front to finish. Raspberry & bramble - dark chocolate - leathery finish with right amount oak.

Good dark merlot. Can taste the berry undertones but not too sweet.

I like it but not my favorite. Fruity but I prefer a deeper plum-like flavor.
