Wente Merlots are consistently good. Can be drunk by itself or with food. A personal favorite.

Very smooth with hints of black cherry and black pepper on the tale end.

This is one of the more refreshing full bodied Merlot I've had in quite some time. There is a little oak, with some berries and one might even say a touch of tobacco on the nose. The flavor is a masterful blend of cherries and plums with a soft background of oak and vanilla. The finish is light but enjoyable.

Very nice for the price! Smooth and fruity, going to keep a few bottles on hand.

Smooth and well rounded. Fruit is cherry, lots of it but not overpowering. A positive surprise at the price point.
