A good price for a very nice Merlot, from a winery with an increasingly respectable track record. The wine is dry and balanced, with a smooth texture and blackberry, coffee and chocolate flavors.

You’ll find lots of jammy cherry, blackberry and chocolate flavors in this clean wine. It feels round and supple in the mouth, and finishes dry, with an aftertaste of berries. A nice value at this everyday price.

This is a nice, middle of the road Cabernet, with black cherry, blackberry and herb flavors that are wrapped in chunky, firm tannins. It’s a bit sharp in acids, but that will take care of itself with the right foods.

Good, serviceable Merlot, with ripe flavors of cherries and blackberries that last through the swallow. It’s dry and soft, and has accents of oak.

The good cherry and blackberry fruit drinks a bit earthy and one-dimensional, and finishes thin. Still, this wine has lush, sweet tannins and a good mouthfeel.

There are some pretty blackberry and olive tapenade flavors alongside a streak of greenish bell pepper. Drinks sharp in acidity and a little thin, but fundamentally sound and serviceable.

This easy-drinking wine is full bodied, with flavors of cherries and a touch of chocolatey Kahlúa. It offers plenty of pleasure in a dry, balanced red wine, and is fairly priced.

A bit on the watered down side, with faint traces of peach and apple, and a brisk finish that has traces of fruity richness. Enjoy it without being fussy.
