Monterey County Merlot

Firm, inky, and rewarding. potent and concise black fruit with overtones of cedar and black tea, all well proportioned to my tastes. Would be very interested in a reserve bottle this, but this will suffice as my new go to bottle for casual/indeterminate situations and pairings.

Too acidic 4 me.

This is sort of a middle of the road wine to me. The nose was underwhelming, with muted hints of cherry and spices. This is a medium to light merlot. It drinks okay but to me is lacking some of the better qualities that makes merlot such a great glass of wine. Overall, a Tuesday night nexflix drinkable wine.

Salted caramel and vanilla nose with black tea, vanilla, dark cherry and clove on the palate. The finish is slightly brighter than the mid-palate going tart with moderate acid.

$15 at Wine Warehouse.

Enjoyed very much!

Pretty decent Cabernet for the price.

Too light for a merlot.

Cherry cola with quick finish. A light Merlot that needs more body and complexity to be interesting.

This is a very uninspired Merlot. Limited fruit coming through and a bit watered down.
