Fresh plum, wild berries, very soft tannins. A little lighter than expected, lacking complexity. Probably due to 2011 vintage

Good complement to a dinner of steaks, baked cod and grilled vegetables. Nice fruit and balance.

It's funny, I haven't had a Merlot for a long time, is it the company, the vibe, I don't know, but this wine tasted fantastic!
