Classic iconic label. Been around forever. Color is pretty. Not exactly dark though. Smells pretty good. Hint of tar with the fruit. Flavors are very smooth and juicy. Can’t really get much distinctly Merlot flavors in there. It’s more of a CA red wine. It’s drinkable, but not worth more than $10 at the most.

Really nice wine. Sweeter for a Merlot but would be great with steak or for easy drinking.

Still learning wine, so I have no idea. But I kind of liked it, maybe not enough to buy again. I think I paid $13
