Light body, fruity nose, lighter than expected for a Merlot

I purchased this at Trader Joe's and rather enjoyed this. Lots of bread basket and birds nest on the nose with a distinct flavor of flaming barrel of garbage and blueberries on the pallet.

Pretty good, much improved with airing. Certainly the best wine I've ever bought to get a free decanter

NYC... This place just not good... Thai food in this subterranean basement... Best satay chicken I've ever had, is still Saki in Vero Beach... Anyway. I can grab this bottle in Publix for $9... My Comp people for some reason liked this place and liked the wine... Boca tomorrow...

A decent nose with a better start than finish, as it has a little bit of a byte. Some air will likely tone down this, 'good for the price' Merlot. Overall, smooth, mild and pleasant to sip/drink.
