January 18, 2012 - It has a strange and unique taste that I don't particularly enjoy.

January 3, 2011 - First Impression: Somewhat chemical nose. Light body and sweet cherry cola taste. Would almost have though (cheap) Pinot if tasting blind. Ok, but marking down for weird nose. 84.
Overall Impression: Easy to drink. Nothing complicated, but nothing offensive either. Not a bad fate for these cheap grapes. 85.
Enthusiasm: Won't seek it out, but it doesn't turn me off cheap Merlot, which I think is a win at this price point. 83.
(BTW, Firefly Ridge is owned by Safeway, so don't be fooled by the huge "discounts". The discount price is the real price.)
