Opened it an waited about 15 minutes, it was still pretty tannic, not much to it and I figured that was it. Fixed dinner and about 40 minutes later had another taste and it was totally different, more tart cherries, lighter tannins with a warm finish. Rating is based on the price, better than expected, good value, still holding its own.

A nice merlot that could be a daily drinker. After 20 minutes it opened up a bit to chocolate and cherry hints along with black fruit. It will age for 3 to 5 years.

Clear deep garnet. Fig, black plum, toasted oak. Very low acids, low tannins. Cherry. Short slightly acidic finish.

Overall a well-made crowd pleasing merlot. Balanced with good fruit and a long finish.
