Straight down the middle. Not memorable. Wifey liked it. Very little to no tannins - simplistic. I think the winemaker missed the mark with this.

Pretty rich and intense for a Merlot. A blueberry explosion with undertones of cocoa, plums, and a hint of vanilla. Delicious now but could benefit from a bit more time in the cellar.
