Angel's Reserve Lodi Merlot
Sweeter than I thought it would be, but not too much so. Nice raspberry start, that becomes deeper finishing with a woody cedar taste. Also very smooth and not very tannic. Pretty pleased but would have liked a little more full bodied red.

Jan 6th, 2016Forget your grandmother's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts cut off. This is her older sister, thwacking you in the mouth with an old gnarled tree branch - laden with ripe juicy fruits.

Aug 11th, 2015Cranberry tartness with a smooth light oaky finish. Tannins are soft, but you're left with a dry, jammy accent. Light-medium bodied. Still young, but with age, it will only get better!
