Raymond Vineyard & Cellar
R Collection Lot No. 2 California Merlot
California, USA
Raymond Vineyards has been making wine for over five generations. Dark red with berry and spice aromas. On the palate cherry, currants, and plum with heavy spicy oak. Big grainy tannins, lively acidity on this full body wine that had a medium finish. Nothing great. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Medium ruby, thin, mild, smooth, easy to sip, and to me not a lot of flavor. Not a bad wine, just uninteresting, a little watery, with some mild astringency in the finish. Not at all objectionable but also not much to it. I've had better merlot for the $12 this bottle cost.

Still airing out, but good fruit base with a muted aftertaste. Lasting palate creaminess. Defining taste.
