This Merlot is vinted in a lighter bodied style than its Bordeaux brethren, with minimal oak, allowing the fruit to really shine. Smooth plum and chocolate flavors dominate with hints of spice, leading into a nice long black currant finish.

It's okay, not the best red wine I've had. Drinkable. Smooth, slightly fruity, relatively thin.
