garnet/brick color; nose of crème de cassis, some violets, blueberry and blackberry, definitely pleasant and pronounced. Was rather closed at first (probably responsible for the earlier, so-so reviews). After an hour, it opened up and wow! Delicious combination of blackcurrant, deep black fruits, light tannins, almost Zinfandel-like fruit intensity.

Bought upon a recommendation, drank with pizza. Was not a memorable wine. had 1/2 a glass and asked if anyone else liked it because it was not for me...I'll stick with Decoy or H3 for the same or less money.

Very dark; lots of cassis, baking spice, cedar, good depth and richness; a favorite from the tasting and many changed their minds about Merlot with this bottle.

Small amount of seepage. Cherry candy, menthol, cedar. Fresh blueberry on the nose, dry finish.

Dinner with Parents (Novi, MI): A good merlot at this price point, but not all too memorable.
