Very good but left me unsatisfied. Vanilla and fruit flavors were somewhat overpowered by the high alcohol content. Did not have the complexity I expected for a merlot at this price point.

Complex nose with olive, clove, dry dirt, and a hint of vanilla. The palate has raspberry, some sort of dark fruit, and the lingering hint of vanilla again. Concentrated and heavy seeming for a Merlot. A tad hot, but in a nice way. A muscular and delicious Merlot.

This was a heavy, concentrated Merlot. The fruit was dark with high alcohol representation. However, the wine was balanced in its' brooding nature. Big for a Merlot, but very nice.

Big Merlot with a great tannin structure. Vanilla, graham cracker, tiramisu on the palate. Great weight & balance that masked the high ABV%. Impressive wine.
