Giant Wine Sale & Tasting 4/19/2014 (Cellar on Greene, Columbia, SC): Not my favorite style of Merlot. To me there are some non typical "off flavors" like tree sap or some green vegetable. The color is OK. The nose has a menthol meets caramel thing with molasses and some cranberry. It just does not taste fruity, more of a manipulated flavor that reminds me of re-cut and toasted barrels.
