It's okay. Sweet. Nose of mocha, earthy spice and tobacco. What prevented me from really liking this is the body (or lack thereof)- very thin. Flavor is pretty standard for a merlot with that black cherry upfront and a nice chocolatey finish. Just wish it had more body.

This is decent! My first Virginia wine. It's very subtle and light, but has a really lovely finish that reminds me of freshly baked bread. This is a good $14 daily drinker for sure.
