6.1

This is the house merlot at my local Chedders.... I hadn't ever had it before so I thought I would give it a try. Not a fan. Bit of oak and dry, both I would generally like. The flavor is just blah.

Adding to be never again list.

The smell is very fruity, the taste was rather tart and provided warmth on the way down. Overall, I think I would have another glass if it were provided to me, but I wouldn't spend my own money on a bottle. — 5 years ago

The grapes for this wine are partially hand picked by Sunday school students as part of their class. A percentage of the proceeds from this wine are given back to the church in communion wine. All that said, this is one of our favorites from Four Horses and a Dog Winery. — 5 years ago

Great flavor, relatively acidic, but definitely better served chilled. I would get again. — 5 years ago

Overall, not our favorite Red.... but clean and full bodied. I would drink again, wife not so much, but I probably wouldn't but again. Too many other better reds. — 5 years ago

Yogi-Berry is a great sweet blackberry wine. Not near as acidic as many other black berries we have tried. — 5 years ago

Very nice dessert wine. Not super sweet, but sweet enough to curb the craving. — 5 years ago

Sweeter and Carbinated. It is actually much better than we expected. We would totally get again, just not try pairing it with Prime Rib. Lol. — 5 years ago

7.2

Paired with seasned pork loin and vegetables with a spinach salad. Agree with it being fruit forward. We let it breathe for at least 30 minutes... and that helped. Overall, for the price it isn't bad in a pinch, but likely would select another red next time. It will likely never be someone's 'go-to' red.

Just paired the second glass with a caramel fill chocolate... total improvement. I bumped by 0.2 points. Still likely may not buy again, but if you end up with a bottle, find some chocolate.
