It's crap like this that gives #Merlot a bad rap! Nothing exciting going on between aromas, palate and mind you it's been opened for over 2 hours. Have yet to have a domestic Merlot that blew my mind in the under $20 range. Sorry, it's not you its me.

Great spice, thick and flavorful. Had a glass with a steak. Heaven

A nice, mild Merlot with an easy finish. Definitely notice the mocha and oak. Not too dry. Just right.

A little more on a tannin side for a merlot. Easy to drink but not my favorite

Fruity and dryish. A little underwhelming but fine as a table wine. IMHO, tastes a little cheap.

Fujiyama in Silverdale... These guys absolutely ROCK... Not sure that this was the best way to pair my filet Mignon and Lobster with $8 side of chicken... Oiooffff best meal in a week, not counting Frankie's meatballs... This wine, probably $9 at Publix, but still fruity goodness... Air Alaska First Class tomorrow morning... Then BOCA!!!

Soft but good finish. Mocha prevalent. Smooth. Nice to sip. Had it with a juicy burger.

A woody aroma with a slight hint of black cherry. Fruity on the tongue. Mid-way between sweet and dry with a long, slow, warm finish.
