Merlot's reputation had been utterly trashed by the movie Sideways (’04). But wines like this will turn that tide!
Deep garnet with a light brown edge. Aromas – all secondary to me: dusty leather, tobacco & coffee. Tears are few & skinny – nowhere near the 14% listed.
Imagine ripe blackberries mashed on a smoked cedar board – this is the palate. Vanilla rounds out the medium- finish. Time for me to re-watch that film.
Was ok. With late night cheese n crackers. Was expecting a little more. Tannins still need some time to mellow out. Slightly bitter finish. But stood up fine to some diff cheeses

My wife drank this when I went on a fishing trip she said it was really good!

Nice merlot with some cheese n crackers. Pretty soft n smooth tannins. I’d say it’s likely near it’s prime
