Almost buttery, definitely needs to be aerated. A sort of fruity, dark chocolatey taste with the dark chocolate lingering a bit.

Super smooth finish when these Merlots have age 4+ years. Great dinner wine at around $20 per bottle.

Fun and cheap and universal finish. So why...stock the 375ml for those nights you know a bigger bottle would be regrettable.

I think this came in one of my shipments. I was not overwhelmed by it. Features black cherry and plum flavors, a hint of spice and anise complemented by currant and wild berry. Aged in French and American oak barrels.

Heavy heavy overripe fruit. Some acidity that turns to bitter tannins. Plum, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Very fruity wine with lots of sweetness.

A very smooth drink. It has just the right amount of flavor that embodies mostly any dinner dish. I highly recommend.
