Dark Ruby with ripe berry fruit and herb spice aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry with leather and cacao notes. Rustic fine tannins, medium finish ending with food and spicy character. Drink now no aging benefit.

A nice weeknight sipper. Not fancy but always consistent.

Nicely rounded Merlot. Pretty firm tannins that make this wine earthy and structured.

Pours wine in color. Aromas of plum and chocolate covered cherries. Flavors of plum and a stewed fruit. Medium body and finish.

Smooth and straightforward with red fruit and balanced tannins. A solid wine; but not too exciting.

Nice merlot that hits at the right notes for the price, very enjoyable and not too tannic.

Medium ruby color with garnet rims. Fine viscosity and quick tears. Medium intense fruity nose, hints of raspberry, blueberry, honeycombs and jam. Medium bodied, med+ acidity, med- tannins, not that harmonic finish. Quick out.
