review:
Dark Ruby in color with aromas of cherry, cedar and a hint of raspberry.
This Merlot shows flavors of dark plum and cherry pie filling, with a
touch of French oak driven vanilla notes.
Your Review:
Right off the bat, I loved the reusable cork. The roommates and I figured it was worth saving, in case we need to break a cork and need to move a bottle of wine. I opened this wine and smelled it initially, and then after about an hour in a decanter. It was strong and medicinal at first sniff, but it definitely softened with time. Gosh I feel like I'm learning. Woo. Definitely noted black fruit, and by now I am not surprised. I did note some light vanilla creaminess to the wine. Those two alone sound like the combination of a fantastic candle, and wine, but there was a bit more to it. There was some cedar maybe, and we noticed maybe something like oregano. Something with a little bit of a pepper smell, but a little more friendly. Overall, I really liked everything about this wine. If I ever need to buy box wine, I'd upgrade to the Green Box of this.
I did not try this with food.
