Not the usual Merlot but in a good way. Full bodied, smooth, fun tastes with a smooth finish

This is not for me and I don’t get the hype. Really bitter cherry and menthol. Quite herbaceous too which is turning me off. Too much spice, too little fruit, the tannins don’t save the structure which feels round… 🤷‍♂️

Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of dark cherry, blackberry and plums. Hints of cocoa, herbs and minerals. Smokey and somewhat short finish. Tannins and acidity are a bit disjointed. Thank You Ron B!

South African (Western Cape) Merlot. Big blueberry fruit. Hints of smoke, cherry and plums with touches of dark chocolate and dried herbs. Just a touch of mineral. Medium finish.Much better with food, especially meat. Thank you, Ron B.

I was curious to try a South African wine. I taste a lot of cherry, and some plum. Very fruity.

A bit tart with a little burn but you can beat the price. Big bottle/small price. It'll do.
