Winery Review

Round, velvety and mouthfilling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price. Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruity, but with a slightly tomatoey note. Soft on the finish. Drink now.  


My Review
This was another wine that I was having a difficult time placing a smell on. The most immediate thing I could notice was the cherry scent that is immediately apparent from the first sniff. A soft cocoa and caramel flavor slowly fade their way in after the initial smell dies down. This wine smelled really great. However it was a bit dry on the finish. It had a great fruity flavor that balanced everything nicely.

I did not eat food with this wine.
