Winery review: This ruby colored Merlot has raspberry jam aromas with a subtle hint of spice. Layers of vanilla, plum and fig are revealed that linger ever so slightly on the palate
My review: Not a bad wine. Had a generic berry aroma that I find pleasing; I also did get something akin to burned leaves (which I also enjoy... got to love growing up in the sticks). Less tannin than the previous red, which I found relieving, and had hints of blackberry hit my palate as I tasted. I probably should have picked up one of these before leaving... I'll have to do that next time.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
