Winery review: Deep ruby in color, this inviting Merlot offers bing cherry, sweet cedar, and raspberry aromas that precede rich plum and black cherry flavors. The finish is mellow and delicate with a hint of oak.
My review: I definitely liked this wine for the price! While not as full in body as some more expensive wines, this Merlot deserves some credit. I had it as an "after dinner" wine; it had a very earthy taste and the flavor of blackcurrants was heavy. It finished off with a lightly acidic after taste. I would definitely drink this wine again!
I had this wine with smoked cheddar and bacon flavored cheese and Club crackers and it definitely to clear my palate when I wanted to try and taste something different in the Merlot.
