Not a huge merlot guy, but this is certainly drinkable. Medium acidity with long, grippy tannins. Nose is cassis, blackberry, dry sand. Taste is berries and ripe stone fruit.

Very good Merlot. Great body, not too dry, nice fruity and well balanced earthy flavors. Great wine for a light night concall.

I taste more cherry than blueberry. This has a really nice smooth finish.
