This wine comes on strong, with a nose of blackberry and anise, joined by lesser touches of smoke and leather. On the palate, watch out for those tannins. They bite. Oak is noticeable, to be sure, but it's a sweet effect rather than a savory one. The wine is medium-dark ruby in color at the edges, blackening nearer the core.

Dec 1st, 2017Good Merlot for the price. A little too acidic for my taste, but not bad overall.
