Liberty School Central Coast Merlot

Disjointed fruit. Flabby yet diluted all at once.

Single note; too jammy; don't like it

Had this 2015 March 13th.

Great #Merlot from @HopeFamilyWines at the $15 and under price point.

There is a lot of fruit on the nose and palet with this one.

Very fruit forward. Tasty.

Bright intense cherry & blackberry on the aroma. Flavor is soft and silky; dry dark fruits.

Classic ruby red. An explosion of blueberry pie on the nose with the accessories of blackberries, vanilla and lavender. On the palate it starts off with cherries then come those blueberries, blackberries and vanilla. The fruit is concentrated, the weight is medium bodied, the tannin is structured, the acidity is high but balanced, and the mouthfeel of the midpalate is like sliding into silk sheets. It finishes with blueberry pie and oak. A prime example of California Merlot!

Dark fruit nose. Simple, rather light, mouthfeel. Palette of bramble, wood flavors, faint green peppers, and spices. Lingering finish with moderate tannins. Beat expectations and would have again.

Spicy, balanced. Huge value play.
