Definitely an odd, cheap Bordeaux Merlot. A strange layered taste right out of the bottle, sort of sweet yet flavorless at first but with a pleasant aftertaste of spicy dark fruit. Decanted through a Vinturi and it mellowed down. The dry mouthfeel remained a constant, as did the unremarkable bouquet. An interesting experience, and certainly not anything like a "typical" California Merlot. Probably deserved better care than it got.

- Crimsom color and aromas of smokey. It's overly acidic and has flavours of smokey with a light/medium body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish.

Not very good. Hot, thin, and medicinal.

Had it with chicken mole. The heat of this merlot was a good complement.
