I am not a big Merlot fan but this was excellent. Long finish, a lot going on.

One of the best merlots I've had to date- smooth, oaky, pairs well with grilled veggies and steak.

Tobacco and dark chocolate taste. Not my favorite.

Give it 30-60 min to open up. Mellow fruit and spice and bit velvety. #MiniWineReview #2GU

Intense aromas of raspberry and plum with a hint of dried cherry. Concentrated flavors of red fruit and plush tannins. Hint of cocoa, caramel and dry currants. Rich finish.
