Nice dark plum color. More plums on the nose. Hint of canned cherry juice. Fairly mellow nose. Flavor is nice juicy fruit. Balance is decent with a streak of acid to go with the red berries and bing cherries. Has good tannic kick as well. A great cheapie Merlot for everyday enjoyment.

Just ok. Still like Pinot noir better.
But it grew on me.
