Well to start, it cost $3.99 at Gross Out. Candy nose. Plenty o vanilla. Pretty dark in the glass. Taste is jammy & with some sweet tobacco. Like a p & j meets a backwoods little smoky cigar. Tiny hint of berries in a preserve at the end. It’s a bit much with the fruits forwardness. But drinkable cheap vino so what the hey...

As far as a cheap merlot off the shelf of your local convenient shop goes this is pretty good, dark, tarty and relatively smooth the perfect cheap bottle for a movie night on the couch

NOSE: dirty leaves? Milk chocolate. Dust. Pretty muted.

TASTE: lightweight but silky, woody (like raw un-exotic lumber woody), cocoa. Blueberry and mulberry. Bitter ash on the finish. This is very good for the $4 a bottle I paid on discount. 86.

Está rico con un sabor chocolatoso al final, no muy ácido

Cooked dark berries, chocolate, and titch of wet rock vibe. Subtle bouquet of vanilla, oak, and hint of tobacco and pepper. Mild tannin, mild acid, smooth. Easy drinking. Quite nice, not typically a fan of Merlot.
