First swallow had a nice finish and then after a few sips the wine became weak, thin and watery. It had some nice flavors of fruit but just did not hold up. We did drink the bottle in one setting so it was an adeqate wine

Dark medium blue-red. Nose is a pretty typical merlot with dark berries pedominating. The taste is a tad sweet and pretty typical of a low priced Calif. Merlot. The wine is quite drinkable but there are plenty of other similarly priced Merlots that have more character. The wine was much better and more balanced on day 2 after opening. Finish is slightly oaky and a light sweet tannin.
