Absolutely one of my favorite go to casual Merlot! There is a reason why Costco is the worlds largest seller/distributor of wine! The slight oak tone with a smooth plum finish make this rich and very drinkable Merlot a must have for any wine cabinet!

Take a drink and then wait for it.... A nice heart warming feeling starts to move through your body. Completely unexpected and makes for a nice surprise. I'll definitely get this again when having a get together with friends and family.

Deep purple in color with a lighter purplish rim.
Fruity on the nose with blackberries, sweet cherries, red currants, blueberries, strawberry pie, licorice, vanilla, leather, oak, cola, alcohol, spices and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity, long legs and an airy mouth feel.
Fruity on the palate with blackberries, cherries, blueberries, figs, currants, metals, cedar, vanilla, light cloves, mint, espresso, chocolate and light peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with very soft tannins and bitter spices.
This is a Nice Columbia Valley Merlot. At a blind tasting, I would think that this would be a California Cabernet Sauvignon.
A little harsh ending, with a burn at the back of the throat, and somewhat watery mouth feel.
Still, very enjoyable with food and even by itself. Paired it with a stuffed eggplant Mediterranean dish.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
