Blizzard wine! This got left at my Christmas party and I cracked it open today. Surprisingly great! Not too heavy or sweet but full of flavor.

It’s smooth, but not a stand out merlot.

Fruity. In America this vintage runs $5.99. It tastes like at least a $6.99 wine. This Napa wine retails for $20 in Canada. It opens up better than expected. Not too shabby.

Very fruit forward, smooth. A great buy for the price point. Try it and sneak this one into your next sporting event or just drink it under a bridge. Will also work well with an nice BBQ.

Full flavor, slightly spicy, good drinkable wine with or without food

Tasty but uninspiring. This came in a gift basket and was good with steak and drinkable alone. I probably wouldn't purchase this merlot.

Very sweet, only to be drunk with food. Not alone.

Doesn't have a strong finish, and a little sweet for a Merlot, but very drinkable!)
