Nose: substantial, floral, cloves. Palate: sweet, rich, blueberry. Low-medium tannins. Low acid. More body & complexity than expected for a merlot. Good!

Red berry, cedar and cocoa powder on the nose, with a light, fruit forward palate. Needs a bit of age but a perfect Tuesday night wine. #merlot

A bit sweeter than expected. For a price in the teens it's not terrible. But lots more wines in this price point that are much better

Outstanding aroma lures you in. But resist and let it breathe first. You'll be happy that you waited. One of my favorite merlots.

I'm generally not a Merlot drinker, but I really enjoyed this one. A little more complex than I typically associate with a Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon lovers will likely find it enjoyable.
