Merlot needs more concentration than this in order to really shine as a stand-alone varietal wine. This is thin, green, and simply generic. Pomegranate fruit peeks through, quickly overlaid with weedy tannins.

This fails to overcome its thin, unripe fruit. Strong scents of smoke and oak carry into the flavors, bringing a bitter end to the finish.

Smooth and pleasantly herbal, this is a silky wine with a mix of blueberry, plum and cherry fruit. It spent 20 months in barrel, which lends a light chocolate note to the fruit. Velvety, delicate and most delightful, it should be consumed while it retains its youthful freshness.
