A wonderfully thick and chewy Merlot with a touch too much caramel oakiness.

Decent midweek plonk. No major flaws but nothing spectacular. Better on night one than on night two. Did not benefit from oxygen.

Very nice for the price point. Earthy, medium tannins and fresh fruit on the back end.

Medium body wine with hints of ripe berries; smooth plum finish and easy food pairings.
