Winery Review: The wine offers an array of red berries and a soft and mellow palate. The style is elegant with distinctive red berries and well-integrated wood aromas on the nose. The palate is velvety and smooth with an aftertaste that lingers with the juicy flavors of abundant flavors.
My Review: This Merlot smelled like darker berries. After sniffing, I was hit with the scent of cherries and raspberries. The wine tasted strongly of cherries (I personally hate cherries), but to my surprise it went down smooth. This wine wasn't too overpowering on the palate. However, I felt like this Merlot left a coat on my mouth, which reminded me a bit too much of cough syrup.
I did not taste this wine with food.
