From the outset this is woody and artificial in style. Aromas of milk chocolate and clove are strange and forced. In the mouth, this feels wiry but also gummy, with clove-heavy oak and tannic bite. In general, this is overly woody, candied and seemingly not natural.

This wine has an overtly oaky nose. Following suit, the palate is resiny and sticky in feel, with little fruit flavor but a whole lot of cheap-tasting wood character.
2012

From head to toe, creamy, candied oak is the driver of this resiny Merlot. Aromas of vanilla and sweet plastic are front and center on the nose, while flavors of clove, vanilla and maple syrup carry onto the finish without mellowing.
2011

Berry and currant aromas are jumpy and fruity in nature, while in the mouth, creamy oak creates a sticky feel. Candied, barrel-driven flavors of vanilla and clove outlast the wine's fruit content on the finish.
