Appearance: Clear, deep ruby

Nose: Clean, nondescript black fruit and spice.

Palate: Dry, Medium acidity, medium-mius tannin. Flavors: Plum, black cherry, bell pepper, black pepper. Theres a dark and chewy quality, which reminds me of charcoal.

Finish: Long

Conclusion: Very good for 5.99.

Commentary: A big structured Merlot. I expected this wine to be a lot softer, and more of a fruit bomb. Props for packaging.
