I always figured a Merlot should be mild in density and smooth, not a heavy wine, not a spicy wine, just a fine drink with little complexity. Sadly, this one was not smooth, dressing this up as a reserve is a little ambitious. It would make a good cooking wine and a disappointing drinking wine. if you find yourself in possession, use it as the obligatory gift wine for someone with a limited pallet as the label has more mojo than the contents.

Dark red with a purple center. It had aromas of black cherries and cocoa. It was full bodied and soft, silky smooth. Medium finish.
