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

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.

This merlot has a fine balance of strawberry and light spices that paired superbly with poached snapper and soba noodles. Worthy of any fine cellar.

nose gave earth, little heat, black cherry, ripe plum, brown sugar
flavors show very round blackberry, wood and earth with some candied black cherry. upon first opening the wood was a little much- but it settled out nicely.

Not as good as the real McCoy, but close to half the price. Solid Merlot with nice plum up front and a hint of spice. Decent depth; not much of a finish though.
