Reviews for NV Vintage
I liked this bottle I think... I know that when I was drinking it I thought "oh this is nice" but then it just slipped my mind to actually take any notes. I think this means it was good but not special.
Great price performer! Smooth and not too much of a sharp alcohalic taste that you often get with cheaper wines. Overall this is a great buy under 8$ (I found it for $6.50).
The Rex Goliath merlot is simple wine with few frills. It is great as a table wine or just something to sit around the home with. Its soft simple nature is hard to dislike. Nevertheless, it fails to stand out in a crowd. It is overly pleasing to the novice pallet, but the more experience wine drinkers might want something with a little more pizzazz.
Strong Berry taste, good for people with sweet tooth. I like a more dry Merlot but for the price, its not too bad.
Winemakers Notes:I really love this wine. Soft, supple, and complex. There is a certain elegance to this wine that fits my vision of the perfect Merlot: Pretty and seductive with a decidedlyspicy nose of black cherry, cassis and cedar. Very ripe and round, almost like a Jolly Rancher candy. Mouth-filling flavors of plums, cherries and wild red berries dominate from start to finish. Good seam of acidity paired with soft tannins make this a wonderful wine for game fowl such as pheasant or duck. My preference would be Rock Cornish Game Hen...yum!
