Did not know much about this bottle of 2016 Luke Merlot. I've been drinking this bottle for the past three days to see how the wines holds up. This is quite the revelation. Dark fruits come to mind when I taste it (blueberry, blackberry-ish). I actually prefer this wine after three days because I felt like the oak was so upfront (but not an oak monster) on the nose and palate, but the days has added more nuanced like the mocha and tobacco described by the tech sheet.

I found this fairly priced-right wine very good. One of the better Merlots I have had recently. Just went well with food or by itself over two days. Putting on my wish list. Was a surprise. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry. The body is medium. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Nice aromatics with more acidity and verve than expected. Certainly enjoyable. The finish hasn't pulled entirely together.
