Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Starts out with Cabernet-like aromas of black currants and an undercurrent of something leaner: unsweetened chocolate, anise, and smoky, oaky notes. This wine accomplishes what many inexpensive Merlots don't: a rich, fruity smoothness. Which makes it a good Merlot value, even though the score isn't very high.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An easy-drinking wine with much of the charm of a pricier Merlot. Has tasty plum, blackberry and chocolate flavors wrapped in rich, smooth tannins. The competition at this price range is fierce, and this wine is holding its own. Good value.
