  had it with a strip steak. Not a complex wine but decent balance, and not overly fruity. A hint of some secondary flavours of a bit of tobacco. Decent acidity which went well with the steak. A good QPR wine.

  Easy drinking and fairly nice merlot. Dark and full bodied at this stage. Lots of currant and plum with strong vegetal notes. Some oak/vanilla present. No cherry or blackberry notes here. Quite chewy with balanced tannins. Nice mid palate but has a slight sour and somewhat bitter finsih that lasts a while. If not for the bitter finish would rate it 90.

  I am noticing a lighter red color in this Merlot than more traditional Bordeaux or Napa Cabs. Black pepper and dark fruit on a moderate nose. Mild and balanced tannins emerge on the mid-palate and offer a good counterpoise to a dark fruit blended finish. Seems lighter than previous outings. 2nd night: still very good, not as light, interestingly, than last night. Paired very well with seasoned Mahi Mahi. ALC 14.7%

  Herbal flavor, maybe peppery stems, red berries, toasty vanilla, medium tannins. Pretty nice.
