Color of cranberry juice, bubbly and clear. Nose is quite fruity, black cherry and spice, a bit minty, blackberry, and fresh grapes. Taste of fruity and zest note, low tannins, vanilla, quite milky yet a bit too much bitterness, some more peppery note, and more sweetness from fruits. Aftertaste, except bitterness, is pretty mellow. Not bad for the price.

A decent, balanced, medium merlot. It was a little fruity with some end bite for me however. A pleasant 'nose' for $8.
