With a nose of cedar, graphite, cherries, and white pepper, this Merlot is watery in structure with light tannins and high alcohol on the palate. It is ok, yet it matches its $9.99 price point.

Blackcurrant, black plum, and raspberry show at the core, with a fascinating combination of fig, pomegranate, and bergamot peel around the edges. A spin in the glass reveals a bit of black pepper, black stone, and a combination of black and green tea leaves. Overall, it’s quite complex.
The palate shows ripe plum, raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate fruit tones, with dusty leather and faint hints of caramel. This is an interesting wine, with a very faint streak of bell pepper and green tea leaves. An enjoyable, well structured, and pleasantly complex wine with fresh acidity. Well made.

Raspberry, hickory, bell pepper and licorice on the bouquet. Raspberry, licorice, coco, and spice on the palate. Pretty good, not great.

Needs a bit more time in the bottle but definitely has some potential.
