When we poured into the decanter, got a very distinct aroma of flinty, wet gun metal with lead pencil and red raspberry. The color is on the light side for Merlot, looks a lot like Ocean Spray cranberry juice. Despite it's light color, and relatively light body, this tastes a lot like merlot. It is not rich and concentrated enough to get a big score, but it is worth the under $10 price tag. Leaves a taste of steely red raspberry and cranberry on the roof of the mouth. Little or no influence from oak. By the time we get to the finish some blueberry and plum appears.

Smells like warm plastic, color is like a watered down Pinot Noir, taste is leaving, quickly.

Nice inexpensive Merlot. Softy, fruity, balanced. No complaints for the price.
