Really good. A little sweet for a merlot, which was a pleasant surprise. Smells nice, tastes smooth. Can definitely taste the berries and oak (2012)

Big nose black fruit, alcohol, tobacco. Vanilla, oak, dried plums. Good, not great. Maybe overly oaked? I can't put my finger on it.

Found this merlot to have high tannins and it was a little rough to drink alone. Maybe paired with food would make it more palatable.

Very very smooth wine. Nice finish and the perfect combination of slightly dry and fruity that doesn't leave your mouth desperate for water.

Notes of plums, currants and anise with lively flavors of blueberry and cherries. Pairs well with beef, lamb chops or or aged cheese.

Medium body, a tiny bit spicy on the back end. Lots of plumbs, maybe some blueberry.

Excellent every day bottle. This is a go to wine for me. It is just the right balance of sweetness and strength. Not overpowering and easy to drink.

Dry oak flavor. Maybe a little tobacco. I'm not finding much fruit others have commented on.
