Herbaceous and fruity on the palate. Has some tannin too. Flavors are typically Merlot but the palate is a touch rough and not silky. Pretty cool.

Herbaceous, simple, not terribly exciting but not bad.

An interesting and affordable Costco find, I got a heavy anise finish early on but the wine mellowed into a peppery fruity less licorice intense wine as it opened up.

2007. Great concentrated fruit, with mint, woody spices, almost a touch of smoke. Very big.
