I don't drink merlot but this has been a wonderful surprise. Enough spice to keep it interesting. Smoothly reminiscent of a Malbec. Drinkable alone or with pasta

This is real deal merlot. Great varietal character and suburb drinkability.

Why does everyone hate on merlot!? Beautiful color. Savory aroma. Spice up front, followed by leather and finish with plum and oak finish.

Not a huge merlot fan but this was good. Nice color, low acidity, and some fruit.

Herbs and spiciness on the nose, with some cherry. The fruit is more prominent on the pallet, especially as you drink through a glass. Other the acid hits first and keeps going, the cherries come in, and then herby tannins come in and slowly fade out. Lots going on throughout each sip! #gotm2020
