Community Tasting Notes 1

September 2, 2008 - Makes me proud to be a native of NC. This is a unique merlot in the sense that it's a pinch sweeter than most Merlots. The body of the wine is present while the initial "shock" of a strong Merlot is absent...making it a great starter for anyone who hasn't tried Merlot...or just doesn't favor them. The aroma of Cherry, Black Currant & Oak is a great, masculine starting point. It finishes with a very feminine rose-like quality. I absolutely love this production and will ALWAYS have plenty in the cellar for formal affairs to back yard grilling.
