It is stylish to bash Merlot, but this wine shows how good this grape can be if done seriously. Lovely fruit and good depth. Drinking at its peak now, so don't hold.

Rather disappointing. I like an earlier review description - grim; there is nothing there to like. Bottle was drinkable over several days. Definitely not worth the purchase price.

Easy drinking glass of strawberries, mild tobacco smoke. Nice crimson color. Great value for the money. My husband loved this...served with a pasta & chicken dish.

Soft, easy and tasty. I don't quite see it at $19 though. I would prefer $16. But they aren't going to give that to me. They blend it with a touch of cab.

The wine was neither corked nor oxidized. Simply grim. Good color upon opening, offset by astringent, alcohol nose. Softened a bit in the glass but there was a laboratory feel to this wine. Vacu-vinned overnight and day #2 saw much of the astringency gone from the nose. On the palate a wave of faux-vanilla overwhelms all. Grim.

Very structured from its 12% Cabernet, this shows nice spicy notes of red cherry, raspberry, mocha and dust. A bit light on its feet.
