Caramelized fruits on the nose -

A very smooth blend of Merlot, Spatburgunder, and St.Laurent.
Elegant and Lacey, unsweetened blueberry and cherry juices. Hint of jolly rancher acidity - tempered and drinking well.

This has struck my fancy out of nowhere. Pleasantly surprised with the depth and complexity this blend offers. Merlot, Pinot, and St Laurent. All bringing their own party. Cherry and oak, vanilla and mocha, medium bodied. Strong acidity but smooth too. It’s more than a bargain.

A little flat. Didn't really pay attention though. Nothing wrong with it. Drank it at the Botanic Garden listening to the live Russian band.

10.0 points? everything alright??

seriously - this wine is entry level and makes okay fun, but far beyond "there's no better"...
