Very dark wine...a bit past its prime. That said, it kind of grew on me despite the over ripe fruit, still maintains a smoothness that is nice. Black fruits all day long - overripe plums, very prune-like, some black tea, some tannins still floating around a bit, but balance is surprisingly decent. Ended up enjoying this much more than the initial take foreshadowed. Drink these up now.

Loved this wine. Had at SNOB (Slightly North of Broad) in Charleston SC with duck. Wine went very well. It was ready to drink. Mellow. Lots of complexity

Typical new world Merlot; not particularly memorable.

Aromas and flavors of black cherry and a little espresso. Finishes with a smoked meat flavor. Ready to drink now.

Deep ruby red. Cherry and espresso nose. Sweet red fruit on the palate merged with astringent tannins. Not very interesting.
