Nice color. Maroon and ruby. Smells wine-y. Just a hint of woodsy-stream side funk with plenty of berry. Flavors are decent if bit thin. It’s a serviceable Merlot especially at the great price they offer at TJ’s.

Color of bright purple, nice legs. Nose of sweet currant, vanilla beans, and milky chocolate. Taste follows the note with really light tannin, a bit caramel and brown sugar. Easy to drink. After taste is clean with a bit more milky chocolate and zest. Nicely done.
