...finally my search for an everyday wine below $10 that tastes like a $50 bottle... This Merlot rocks regardless of what Miles says...

13.5% ABV
Fruit forward. Medium tannin. Light body. Acidity/sweetness are well balanced. Very drinkable and smooth.

Smoke from a nice candle and vanilla in with the red fruits on the nose. Flavor is pretty rich with plenty of pie and vanilla to go with the berries and cherries. Could use a bit more acid and ink but represents WA Merlot adequately.
