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.)

It has a strange and unique taste that I don't particularly enjoy.
