  Made in a relatively light-bodied, soft style, this wine has a weedy, herbal element at its heart, and could use more fruit to balance out. It ends in a taste of bittersweet chocolate and espresso.

  A simple Merlot, thin and dry, whose cherry and red plum flavors are compromised by green, unripe notes.

  A distinguished Merlot, dark, dry and brooding. Complex, too, with deep flavors of blueberry, mushroom, dark chocolate and anise. The tannins are fairly fierce despite the softness, but the wine doesn't seem like a longterm ager, so give it a decant before drinking over the next…

  Soft and herbal, this pretty, polished Merlot offers gentle flavors of cherries, currants, cola and violets, touched with oak. It's a very clean, elegant wine, meant to pair with upscale fare, and fully ready to drink now.

  Sharp and tannic, with cherry, blackberry, coffee, cocoa and peppery flavors. Exuberantly rustic now, but could mellow with a year or two in the bottle.

  There are some problems here, beginning with a vegetal, asparagus smell and ending with a soft, simple syrup finish. In between are some decent cherry flavors wrapped into harsh tannins.
