Réserve Les Barriques Pays d'Oc Merlot

...maybe as an "everyday"/ "painting with a twist" wine
Bit of an alcohol aftertaste
Aerated and decanted 20mins
Total Wine x merlot ...$11

Pretty good. A little softer than what we were having already. Smooth.

Very smooth!

Great Merlot if you like Merlot

I'll drink you again.

Decent wine... Very drinkable and lighter bodied

Not something I'd try again. Bitter aftertaste. Sharp. Chased it with scotch and didn't go back.

Lots of intense, fresh fruit in the palate, masterfully blended to create balance and finesse in a Merlot for $10.99. Plenty of ripe plum and soft fleshy fruit, with a medium body and velvet finish. This is a great wine to serve with simple dinners such as hamburgers.

Ignore my rating. I'm not a fan of Merlot.

Pretty good.
