Tasting - Night Harvest California Merlot

Name: Night Harvest California Merlot

Variety: Merlot

Region: California

Country: USA

Year: NV 

Price: $18 (retail)

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.
