The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like Dust, Black currant (cassis), and Black Pepper. The body is Light. The wine has Flabby texture. The wine finishes Short. 13.5% California Merlot
OK. May have waited too long to drink it.
Drank with Split Pea soup

The nose is indicative of the body. This is medium-bodied with flavours of with berry and spice coming through (evidence of good oak barrels?). The tannins are larger than expected. The wine has a medium finish.

Much better the second day after opening. After breathing a while, the fruit flavor came out and added a light sweetness.
