Nice inexpensive American merlot. Fetzer has over the years produced some very fine wines. This is no exception with a plum-filled nose, hints of vanilla and peppermint(?). The taste was smooth, with easy tannins and nice layers of cherry and some blackberries. Very easy to drink.

Rich plum aroma with hints of earthy tones and some fruity oakyness (is that even a word?? :). Anyway, the wine tasted fruity and had smooth, easy tannins and a velvety aftertaste. Not bad for a cheaper wine but not a wine for heavy food, or perhaps even food at all. A nice sipping wine, with no pretensions.

Fetzer is starting to disappoint. Had been our 'go to" vineyard, but finding many others to take it's place

Nose - dark fruit, coca, spice. Mouth - cherry, decent acidity, light tannin.
