Overpowering wood. Very easy to drink but not much going on.

Well, it has a nice, grape nose. Smooth finish. It has aged well.

A little disappointing as this was my first taste from this winery and I like a good first impression. Was a little more acidic and a lighter body for a Merlot. Corked the remainder of the bottle and had so me a couple of days later, but it didn't sit very well after being open for that long. I'd like to try more from this winery and make a decision, even try this one from another bottle.
