Whoa! Pucker factor. Great tobacco aromas and black fruit flavors, but, wow, grippy tannins. Could use some bottle age...or a blender. Ended up doing the MollyDooker shake to aerate the wine.

The 2019 Merlot is spicy and perfumed with wild blueberries, cloves and dried flowers. It boasts silky textures and inner sweetness as red and blue fruits flow across a juicy, acidic core. Tobacco, cocoa and lavender resonate toward a finish framed by a gentle coating of rounded tannins. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2023)

this wine needs to breathe. very rich, spicy start but manages the smooth finish. you can taste berries if its allowed to breathe. excellent with dark chocolate, salted dark was amazing! best wine-chocolate combo I've had in awhile. the description on the bottle is really accurate! would be good to gift to someone who knows wines. I only don't rate it higher because I'd like my wines big, but a little more easy drinking

Rich and thick, fully of blackberry and boysenberry flavors, this Merlot would probably go really well with gamey meat such as lamb or venison, but is just average as a cocktail wine; at this price point I would recommend the Charles Smith Velvet Devil Merlot.
