  Round and ripe blue fruit, cinnamon, clay and leather on the initial nose leads to palate coating red and blue fruit flavors with mocha, coffee and vanilla oak. This easy drinking Merlot showed well on the long finish, but is just missing a few key aspects of personality for this price point.

  Nose is dark berry, plum, vanilla, cola, bell pepper, and dust. Flavors follow suit pretty well, with a bit les vanilla and cola and adding a touch of cigar. The wine is reasonably well balanced, with the tannins taking the forefront slightly. Finish is lengthy. Nice, enjoyable Merlot.

  Popped and poured after a pizza night. Very dark fruit of plum on the aroma, as well as licorice and some oak. Taste is a bit muted, though, with a very dry finish. This definitely needs a couple years to see if that tannins subdue a bit.
