Paid $6, aroma is a bit stinky for a merlot, like rotting ivy. You get over it with the taste, though, so that's a bonus. It's a fine wine that I can drink alone, but wouldn't serve it. Cool label, though!!

Very acceptable, smooth. Good body. Held up well with refrigeration.

There's only one time I've been disappointed with this wine and I think it's because it wasn't the year 2012. Otherwise, this is honestly the best wine. Very smooth, full bodied wine. Especially for the price, you can't beat it.

Blackberry and olives. Awkward acidity. $10. Maybe zin blend.

My thanksgiving wine this year, plenty of fruit plus a lovely spice/herb layer to pair with Fall food.
