A little red fruit on the nose. Soft & mellow w/ faint hints of raspberry. Finish is reminiscent of oak but not quite there. Noticed more tannins late in the bottle. Overall unremarkable but drinkable.

Don't care for it. Couldn't finish the bottle. Probably use it for cooking.

I like Merlot but this is bad. Most of TJ's wines are good for the price
