My Review: Very fruity and full of red fruit on the nose. I make out raspberry and some cherry mixed with hints of licorice and vanilla. On the palate it is a super cherry bomb. It is slightly hot and the tannins strong which is atypical of Merlot but the back end is a little watery which brings me back home. Some vanilla comes through with raspberry on the mid-palate. It has a long finish. This is an interesting Merlot to be sure.
