I don't remember how this bottle ended up in my cellar (I certainly didn't buy it). Briefly decanted before a dinner out, then tasted again after about 3 hours of air. Mildly oaky, mildly herbal nose. Subdued, single nose dark cherry fruit, very little on the tail end. Mild and inoffensive, this wine tastes like nothing. A wine for people who don't like wine.

Thin and weedy, both on the nose and the palate, with some simply black pepper and cinammon notes that have no redemptive value. Hollow and non-descript. This should not have been bottled. Not recommended.

More spice than plum smooth but nothing spectacular

Mediocre. All of the bad impressions of CA Merlot that you have might be found in this wine.

Fairly average with nothing to comment on in terms of impressions.
