Rather unremarkable. Not much on the nose either on the first day or the second - some cherry and vanilla but not very pronounced. Decent finish, and regular merlot taste, but wouldn't really recommend it

a solid effort from this consistent producer. plum, cherry, touch of vanilla and good medium body and decent finish. nothing extraordinary, but year in and year out a decent bottle to keep around for everyday drinking.

This Merlot stood up very well when opened among a number of other cabs and merlots at a tasting. Good nose of berry and plum rich txture on the palate. Similar to most at this $

An OK bottle. Tasted like cherries with some slight vanilla hints - I was hoping for more chocolate notes but there were none that I could discern. Wasn't super impressed considering the price point.

PnP. Some light sediment, deep dark purple. Well balanced, full body Merlot. Smooth drinking and enjoyable. Nothing off.

Aromas of wet autumn leaves and leather. Some cherry on the palate. Medium weight. Not bad but nothing outstanding.

Light body, very fruity, hardly any finish left. Past it's prime, but enjoyable anyway.

Solid merlot, a bit more oak than expected. Enjoyable.

A light weight merlot. Recommended by WSJ--but they were a bit off on this one. Not memorable.

Had this with family here the night before Thanksgiving. Aroma is balanced, some good dark fruit, nice finish. Very smooth

Good, but nothing truly notable. Aroma is balanced, some good dark fruit, nice finish. This probably needs a bit more time in the bottle.
