Community Tasting Note

DrinkNectar Likes this wine:

Thursday, March 11, 2010 - The Stuff: 100% Washington Merlot, 10 months in oak, 13.8% ABV
•The Swirl: Mildly translucent with ruby red undertones. A pretty wine
•The Sniff: Smooth dark chocolate with cherry and oak. I would imagine this would be the aroma an Umpa Lumpa would smell in the chocolate river (if cherries were involved too).
•The Sip: The sip is slightly thin on the front that opens up to a nice moderate fruit – still cherries. Definitely a chocolate covered cherry Merlot.
•The Score: At only $12 (sometimes under $10) – At this price, a solid 3 (out of 5). A trustworthy wine for the money. Good sipper, but the thin front and single dimension leave the score lower.
