Not bad for an AirBNB freebie. Doesn’t really taste like merlot, more gamay, but no excess oak or alcohol.

This is intense with raspberry. Excellent with duck. Good balance of taste with the right amount of alcohol. Fruity for a merlot but just fine.

Plum and black cherry. A little heavy taste so it fills you up nicely.

Very smooth, not acidic which some Chardonnays can be.

Refreshing (nice zing), paired well (decently) with spicy rolls, but not very complex. Good for its price

Surprisingly, it got worse as we drank. Edited review to reflect that

Not much going on here but at $6 it's an easy drink
