  Nice Red Cherry aroma, with a little floral. Tastes of red cherry and blackberry, fruity but not overly. Longish finish with strawberry and a little citrus twang. Other comments, good body, aroma is fantastic, should get better with more time in the glass.

  Castoro Cellars - Merlot - California > Paso Robles. Mostly Merlot with Petite Sirah and Malbec. Beautiful red and black fruits with floral aromas. A combination of French and American oak add a vanilla and spice richness complimenting the fruit.

  OK example of an inexpensive merlot though missing some of the typical character. Not bad, just not quite on the mark. Decent balance of fruit, hint of oak and some structure but more generic than merlot. Was OK with food and to sip.

  Smells like cinnamon and creamy vanilla with a nice definitive bite that grabs your tongue on the finish. Vintage tastes fresh and isn't so heavy that you couldn't enjoy on a warm summer day.
