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.

User Reviews
This is not my favorite year (2006) for Dynamite Merlot. I can't wait until my store gets rid of the 2006 and starts selling the 2007 Merlot. It could only be better.
Had this with my wife tonight with bone-in filets. We were not terribly impressed. Has a bit of a strong alcohol taste and was not very smooth. My wife asked me to put it on our "do not order" list.
Supple in texture, with ripe plum, herb, currant, game and cherry notes, holding its flavor and focus. An elegant, graceful Merlot at an attractive price. 37,000 cases made.
