More fruit forward, bold, and full-bodied than a typical Merlot. I prefer bolder reds so I liked this one more than a typical merlot fan might.

Easy to drink, pair well with a nice steak. Little fruity for a merlot

Simple and affordable everyday wine. Good taste and texture. Not amazing but for $12 or so it's a good deal.

Pretty high sugar content at 8g/L and it's noticeable. However this is a smooth merlot, perhaps not necessarily worth its lofty price tag, but would pair well with roasts, steaks, and stews.
