Merlot brings the darker fruit flavor out and there's a mellow finish. Good for chicken to pork.

Light enough to accompany dinner but hearty enough to drink alone

Loved it. It has the smooth, dark fruitiness of a Merlot with a clean dry finish of a cab or Malbec. A great blend of flavors I will be buying again for my Italian meals.

A robust grape and oak aroma present themselves as the nose is brought to the glass. The first taste is smooth, round, fruity. Dry with lots of flavor. Very enjoyable.

Great wine for the price. On the drier side.

Perhaps I should have rated this wine prior to drinking the entire bottle. Anyhow, it's good! I kind of love it! Cheers to 2015!!!!

2014 vintage is a delicious bold red with a slight vanilla oak flavor.
