Plum and blackberry on the nose, fruity in the mouth. Not bad for $6.99.

The bouquet is a little muted but some blackberry and black currants coming through along with a hint of tree bark. It coats the palate well with a velvety mouth feel. The flavors are predominately blackberry and a little boring on the palate to begin with but rounds out with a nice, long milk chocolate finish. Just a bit of oak coming through on the finish as well.

I really enjoy this crazy value Merlot. I originally thought this was the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Merlot but re-read the list and saw it was the 2004 that made it. This wine shocks you for $10. Lots of blackberry and plum, some earthiness. Slightly muted nose with hints of dark fruit. Finish could have more to it. Overall best 10 dollar wine around. BUY IT.
