Community Tasting Note

  November 15, 2016 - I have to tell say this is one of the best ones I've had in a long time it comes from the Piedmont area of Italy It is 100% Merlot, but unlike any Merlot that you may tried before. It has a very slight hint of raspberry and Plum and a little more obvious is ripe Cherry but what really stands out is a leathery smokey flavor soft tannins interesting wine to be sure

But yes: I'd certainly not have intended to tell anyone that their "Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy Merlot" was, um, not Merlot! :)
