Fruit forward, tart, supple. Needs a good hour or more to soften up and settle down.

A standard merlot. It's chilled a bit so the silky texture really came out. Also standard dark cherry, dark plum, and subtle herb. Not sure what herb, but def not rosemary or those poignant French herb

Good Merlot. Nice dark fruit up front and a fair amount of liquorice. More than most. Good with blue cheese and Blue Jays!!
