For the price it was nice. Cherry and leather mixed with strawberry nose. Dark Purple, med + finish was soft tannin and a touch of spice - must have some Syrah or Zin in the mix Good weekday wine, or for sharing in large groups that like wine, but not too sophisticated palate.

Sat, 09/1/18, $2 Tasting: 100% Merlot aged approximately 17 mos in 62% older & 38% new oak barrels, both FR & AM; 14.5% ABV, 0.53g/100ml T.A., & 3.75 pH; 67,000 cases
N: Vanilla, ripe berries with notes of pyrazines & poss some choc?
P: Med body; Rndish entry with ALMOST swtish frt met by some puckerish astringency which morphs into a LONG finish with a bitter/swtness to the very, VERY fine tannins & still with an OCCASIONAL touch of pucker. NEEDS into early '20, then potentially a steal? My VG+/EXC-. 88 pts ea WS & WE @ $15. [This vendor's $9.95 beats all but 1 of wine-searcher's offerings.]

My review is pretty much the same as the fellow from Finland, where could you have so much fun for $10

Deep purple in color and medium bodied. Tastes of black cherry, cocoa, leather with a little spice. Nice acidity, soft tannins and a smooth finish.
