California
2009
We had a delicious barbecue dinner with this merlot, which we both thought paired really well with this wine. It's rich in flavor, full of blackberry and blueberry with a touch of vanilla. It has a decently smooth finish with a tone of the oak it was aged in.
Colin: I like this, it is really dry. I think the typical, fruity merlot is kind of toned down for a richer, oakier finish. It could be fruitier and stronger. I think for what it is, it stays true to the rich gnarly head and what you expect of them.
Rating: 7 out of 10 glasses
Rachel: It has a little bit of a fruity bite to it. I like this merlot, but after drinking a glass of it, it loses some of it's finesse. On first taste, you get a lot of fruit with a nice oak finish. After drinking a glass, you get more currants and oak, less fruit. For that reason, I won't rate it higher. It's still a good wine for under $10.
