Director's Cut Alexander Valley Merlot

Pros: smooth out of the bottle, great label re zoetrope and low tannins. Cons: Although dark in color, it's light to medium bodied with no immediate zing-factor and doesn't linger at the end. Tastes of alcohol. Ends up feeling flat. But will let it sit and breathe. If it changes, I will re edit this

Alexander Valley AVA. Greenish and lean. 2013 vintage.

Nice Merlot. Fairly light, well balanced.

Dark and full bodied, this wine brings on the darkness fruits: black plumb, dark cherry, black currant. It has relatively high acidity so should pair well with oily dishes.

Syrupy deep burgundy color. Smells like plums and embers. Smooth. Tastes like cherry cough drops and tobacco, with a hint of strawberry. Powdery, mild finish.

Pretty good!

Mediocre for the price. Would not have to buy again.

Cherry delicious.

Dark berry flavors, not overly sweet. Nice everyday wine.

Has been awhile since I had tasted the Directors Cut, but gotta say it is a nice everyday tasty wine!
