  June 6, 2013 - Actually this bottle reminds of the first bottle ANC coincidentally I paired with the same fish stew. Still nice value with dark berry fruit bursting with flavor.

  February 6, 2013 - This value merlot has lost something since we enjoyed it last year. Nice dark berry fruit in the mouth, but little or no depth. Given the price, however, it is still a buy for an everyday wine.

  July 25, 2012 - Great value merlot. We enjoyed it with a seafood stew cooked in red wine. The berry notes and round finish paired beautifully with the Mediterranean favors of our meal. Not particularly complex, but a pleasure to have with a nice week day meal.

  February 10, 2012 - Good complexity. Good value. But to me it tasted a little "hot"

  February 8, 2012 - A nice "muted" Merlot that has a wonderful focus on fruit - the boysenberry scent is fabulous and it went incredibly well with our meat loaf with apricot/pineapple glaze.
