Winery Review: Our full-bodied Merlot is all about taste. It blends flavors of black cherry, ripe plum, and hits of oak for a velvety richness.

My Review: This merlot is a tasty, crisp blend of some interesting flavors. I noticed a sour plum flavor which faded quickly into a cherry aftertaste that stuck to the roof of my mouth for a while. The blend of plum and cherry contributed to the dark, full-bodied taste. Overall, it is a good mix of tartness and sweetness and packs a pleasant kick which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I did not taste this with food.
