This happened. I was convinced it was actually dornfelder in disguise.

Good for sangria. Notes of vanilla and cherry. Could be bolder

This was a surprisingly good cheap Aldi’s wine. I get blackberries and vanilla/caramel. Absolutely worth $6.

Good medium-bodied taste, hits dark and bright notes without being too heavy. Decanting and aerating help balance the intensity

Too sweet and not enough dryness for a merlot.. but you get what you pay for (2.99 at aldi)
