Not liking this one. Popped and poured and took well over two hours to consume a single glass. While the nose was fruity and promising (despite a fair bit of heat), the taste was very acidic the entire time and never really came together. I ended up putting it in the fridge for tomorrow night and will see how it is after 24 hours.

Usually not a merlot guy, but this was definitely decent. Much more enjoyable after being open for 2 hours than when first popped. Noticeable amout of sediment (not a bad thing, just FYI).

Probably didn't give this one enough time as it was pretty tight throughout dinner. No tasting notes but there was nothing too memorable about the wine. Enjoyable nonetheless.

Unimpressive, but that's sometimes what you get for a $12 bottle of wine. Fruits up front that diminished very quickly. Gave way to tannins and acid that didn't work at all.

Hints of mocha and cherry with a strong tannin.
