Dark fruit and musty notes on the nose. Fruit carries over to the palate with moderate tannin and acidity. Nice overall drinker, but comes off a little flat and uninteresting.

My experience with this wine was more fulfilling that than reported by the majority of other folks on Cellartracker. It was also consistent with my notes of the 2005 vintage. Medium bodied, dark garnet color. Pleasant easy drinking (nice way of saying not complex!) black berry fruits predominate with a hint of mocha and truffle on a moderate nicely integrated soft tannin finish. The winemaker's notes sum it up perfectly. Winemaker's notes: Deep ruby color. Soft bouquet with black fruit and a touch of truffle. The natural sweetness of the Merlot is balanced by a good tannic structure.

It's "good" for a $10 bottle of wine.
