Fruity and tasty - a little much with roasted veggies, but excellent with pasta.

Excellent Merlot. Light bouquet with clean aftertaste. Slightly oaky with a cherry finish

The H3 line continues to impress me. Superb Merlot at an unbeatable price point. Deep oak notes and ripe red fruits.

It's all silk and cherry and vanilla. The prom queen of tonight's #wineclub. I stockpiled it for the end of the evening, but now I'm too drunk to really appreciate it. This is why I'll never be happy.
