April 23, 2020 - Bad cork
December 13, 2014 - Still good
February 2, 2012 - ok flavor but oddly frizzante of very unfiltered.
April 20, 2010 - Sweet and there.
Can the White Dog land the sku? "The pretense is that I am going to make the great wine from a great site, regardless of vintage. I am going to make the best possible. Now at $16, its a workable price".
April 20, 2010 - Sweet full throttle Merlot.
January 8, 2010 - Very tasty Merlot for the price. The unpleasant finish of many cheap merlots was pleasantly absent. Light and fruity. A good bargain.
September 13, 2009 - Dark ruby with generous grape, plum, and vanilla on the nose. Nice plump fruits but kind of artificial smelling too.
Soft tannins, mostly one-dimensional fruit, a little hot. Notably sweet...seems a little flabby even. Ostentatious and lacking complexity, a touch too much oak for my tastes. Not much chocolate or tobacco or even berries to get me excited. Medium body and decent finish.
Gets the job done, if a little candied and boring. $12.99 on sale. A good wine, 84 pts.
July 14, 2009 - Big sweet merlot fruit with fat rich palate. And a touch hot.
July 4, 2009 - Plumb and cherry. Chewy tannins. Rich finish with a nice fruit core.
February 6, 2009 - A little bit heavy on the alcohol at first but that dissipated after an hour or so. Nice and plummy, just a little bit sweet. As it opened up I got some cinnamon on the midpalate. Nice and balanced.
