- My Review: This Merlot was super cheap but surprisingly nice. It had a light cherry scent that only began to express itself as the wine warmed to room temperature. The wine had beautiful notes of ripe red raspberry and sweet blackberry. It was smooth with a subtle oaky finish.
- I enjoyed this wine with a chocolate chip cookie. The sweetness and dark chocolate chips in the cookie paired well with the red fruity nature of the wine. The flavors complimented one another well.
