  October 6, 2011 - This one not corked. Good color and somewhat simple nose/flavor profile. Good value at $7.

  September 23, 2010 - Tested from a preservation machine. Almost intense nose of mineral, slight smoke, and red sour fruit (red and black berries). In the mouth round, ripe smooth layered slightly smokey red fruit (dark berries and perhaps cherry) in good balance with firm acid with some highlights of coffee and sweet warm spice (hints of chocolatey pepper, perhaps cardamom, ginger, and licorice). Finishes in balance with a bit of warmth and a slight kick of the elements from the mouth which then fade. Dry. Body medium, acid medium, tannin medium. This is a good wine and great QPR at USD10. Too bad they called it a merlot, eh?

  March 1, 2010 - A Merlot? Hard to believe this classic southern French mix of dark fruit, earth & scrubland, and faint herbs is a Merlot. This Merlot does a wonderful job of expressing the terroir of the Languedoc. This big wine has a deep brick-red color with an earth, herbs, spice, and slightly chocolate taste overlaying dark red fruits, moves like velvet across the palette, and ends with a leather and nut-oil finish. Lively but manageable acids and tannins. I will buy more when some space opens up in the cooler. Another wine to go with Mediterranean cooking generous on the herbs and spices but light on the tomato sauce.
