Light on the nose. Hints of cherry. Pallet has fruity notes of plum, black cherry, and raspberries. Not too dry. Medium bodied. I’m seeing reviews saying they get spicy. I’m not picking that up. Not too acidic.

Kind of spicy. Kind of acidic. Saving grace is the finish. Made me crave some pizza. Wouldn’t purchase again.

Dark chocolate covered red fruits - this continues into the taste buds, bringing with it green pepper, stalk, and leaf. Classic S.A. Wine flavors.
A light, feathery touch if acid, and a lingering bit of hardened vegetal stalk.
Early, yet really enjoyable.

Funky herbs/curry paste nose. Flavors are strong and strange. Licorice and red apples. Pretty easy finish.

$8.09. Not a huge merlot fan but thought would give this a run. Too much fruit for my taste. Just did not seem well balanced. Would not buy again.
