Let this one breathe for a bit. Smooth and silky draw, full finish. Better with time.

We loved this! Plenty of berry flavors and just enough tanin. Paired so nicely with the pork chops we made for dinner!

Easy drinker, good for non Merlot drinkers, needs some time to breathe

2011-$14.48 after 30/10% sale discount at Safeway; complex,deep bouquet more like a higher level wine; great legs; medium light body; black cherry, cassis; licorice light finish; drinks more like a merlot blend at at a higher price point; would buy again; could be a "go to" 2nd level wine.

2011 vintage. Soft, buttery nose gives way to light berry flavors.

For someone that does not love merlot, I do like this. Soft, coffee and chocolate hints.
