Not usually a huge merlot fan, but liking the notes of black cherry and spice!

So obviously nothing of note, just a cheap crowd pleaser. It’s not trying, so you shouldn’t either.

Nice smooth Merlot. Fruity aroma but it doesn't come through as much in how it tastes. Darker, but still smooth taste with the normal lighter Merlot body. Had it with grilled chicken and it worked great.

A luscious Merlot for the price point. Medium tannins with blackberry, plum, and a leather finish. I love this on its own or with pork or steak. #youhadmeatmerlot #merlot #winepuns #winelife

Drank 8.18.15. I was a big fan of this. Of course ate with pizza. Would drink again and try other variations.
