This Merlot tastes like what I want a Merlot to taste like, strong fruit but balanced acidity. Now I know why they put chemistry on the bottle.

Tasty. Lots of fruit. Berries. Slightly peppery finish. Very good for the price.

Excellent nose on this one. Fruity on the front end, kind of like a nice jam, but it really settles down once it goes down the gullet. I like this wine for a less expensive Merlot from Napa Valley!

Beautiful chocolate and plum medley hits the nose with soft berry, vanilla and oak. Soft, subtle vanilla and berry, finishing with persistent tannin. #merlot

This was good. Jammy but not overwhelming. Good daily drinker (if that's your thing! Ha)

Smells as good as it tastes! Would be great with red meat.

We made a guinness beef stew to pair with this Merlot. It was a nice combination for winter time red and to brush the cold away. We usually drink red zin so this was off beat for us but we enjoyed it as a Merlot.
