We comparison tasted this with the 2013 Select Terroir. This wine is nicer, more full and better balanced. This has a nice medium grape flavor with some smoke and oak and a good tannin and fruit finish. This one also showed a bit of vegetal/evergreen flavor.

I always buy one bottle of each vintage from Costco before deciding to buy more as I have been disappointed in some years. The 2011 year is one of the better ones and I plan to buy a few more. It is very drinkable now and recognizable as a Merlot. Soft with reasonable fruit and a good value at $10.00.

Cherry upfront with an incredibly long silky vanilla and tobacco finish. Characteristic of much higher end wines for an exceptional value.

this is a great year. 2009 was a bit tart. 2011 seems to have mellowed and came back a little more smoky.

Great table wine
The body is medium/full. The wine has medium acidity.
