What to Expect

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

A huge staff favorite. This wine is soft and packed with cherry flavors, with vanilla notes on the nose and a touch of chocolate on the palate. Pass on dessert: you can just have another glass.

Nothing spectacular. A drinkable wine for a low price, and it tastes exactly like it sounds. Decent blackberry and cherry flavor, but no real character to speak of.

I had this wine for the first time this year paired with at filet on my anniversary. I have to say, it was a great wine. I liked it so well, I went out and bought two bottles the next day. Cherry, Vanilla and Chocolate with a touch of tannin. Smooth finish. I would have to agree, no dessert, just pour me another glass.

Good wine to pick up for a routine dinner at home. Spicy for a merlot, which is probably why I liked it.

Solid and fruit-forward, fair for the price, but pretty boring.
