March 27, 2023 - Nice merlot (and I'm not a big merlot fan). Went well with meat and veggies very well. Will get again.... to have a merlot in my cellar.

December 25, 2022 - It was ok. Drank on Christmas in Vegas. It doesn't need a long decant, maybe only 30-40 min needed. Will wait until 2025+ to open the other bottle.

June 28, 2022 - If the label didn't say Merlot, I would not have known. Dry and austere, not like the Merlots I remember. Maybe it's me but I consider it 28.99 down the drain.

June 5, 2022 - really full bodied classic merlot--thick and juicy...a little bit hot, sweet and overwhelming, but a lot of nice fruit--dark cherry, mocha, blackberry
