Smooth tannins are the highlight. Fruit forward with blueberries, black cherries, plums, mocha, hazelnut, vanilla, and baked almonds on the nose. Medium-plus bodied with a purplish tint. Structure is dry with medium-minus acidity, smooth tannins, and a full oak finish. The Merlot really makes this wine approachable and simple. This is a very easy going wine, but the oak tends to be a little over powering and hides some of the other characteristics of the grapes. Cheers!

Not something I'd go out of my way for but not anything I could object to and somewhat interesting. For the price a good wine if you want to take it to a party with a lot of folks who just want some swillable juice. I put a full post up on the blog about it https://scrumptiousgruel.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/cheers/
