Looks right in the glass if a bit thin. Smells like veg and berry sauce. Maybe alright thing 🤷‍♀️? Flavors are decent. Not much going on. Fruit forward for sure. Balance is passable though. A bit too smooth for thoughtful 🤔 drinking, but it’s fine. Wine for the plane to Australia…

Immediately drinkable, there’s a little bit of sweetness but not too much.

If you like merlots, this is a solid pick. I'm not a merlot fan but thought I would give it a try and thought it was tasty.
