Dark Ruby in color.

Not very appealing on the nose with cloves, oak, blackberries, plums, cherries, licorice and caramel.

Medium plus in body with high acidity.

Dry on the palate with sour cherries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, plums, oak, licorice, cloves, caramel and black pepper.

Medium finish with soft tannins and light black pepper.

This Merlot is harsh and unattractive. Not for me.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Nice fruity flavors, a bit dry, and not very sweet. I really enjoyed this one. $9

Good flavor and easy to drink. I just find it hard to buy a wine called "cupcake." Just me?
