Dense and saturated purple. The dominant combo on the nose and palate is chocolate and raspberries - rich, but not oaky. The alcohol is noticeable in the full mouth-feel, but the wine doesn't register as hot. The acidity is also high for a New World Merlot, which sets this apart from the fluffy chocolate teddy bear Cali Merlots that live at this $12-15 price. Subdued tannins impart moderate structure, and the finish is medium/medium-long. This mostly plays one note, but it's a good note.

Another good bottle, focused plum aromas, decent freshness, medium bodied wine, stays juicy and friendly.

I really like the precise fruit profile of the wine. Nice freshness, medium bodied, charming easy drinking Merlot.
