Review (from Natalie MacLean): "90/100 A savoury, delicious, sumptuous Californian Merlot from a respected family winery in the cool climate Sonoma Valley. Aromas of fleshy ripe dark plums and smoke. Pair with grilled pork chops or lamb."
My Review: I did not have this wine with any food, and we had the wine at room temperature. My first impressions when smelling the wine were strong aromas of cherry and raspberry. I thought the wine also tasted very fruity, and I tasted mainly cherry with some hints of strawberry. The wine was pretty sweet, with a medium body, and I didn't think it was very acidic. Merlots are some of my favorite wines, so I'm not surprised that I really liked this wine. Next time I'd really like to try it with some food, maybe a pasta.
