Monday, June 4, 2018 - This 100% Merlot is a somewhat odd combination of ripe fruit and leathery structure that works - more or less - though it left me wanting for a bit more roundness and lift. Dark red in color, full in body, nose of blackberry, olive, and menthol. Tastes of boysenberry, black raspberry, leather, and tapenade, with a dry and somewhat tannic finish. 15% alcohol. This Merlot is well-priced, but it's a bit savory (read: olivey) for my taste. Drink in next few years.
