Comments:

Plum and berry are evident up front, but the tannic sharpness of the finish really takes away from the enjoyment of the wine. Admittedly young when tasted, this wine may truly benefit from some aging.

 

From the Label:

"There's a sense of pride that comes from making wine in a place with a rich history. I think our Mendincino roots show in every glass of our Merlot. It has an easy, approchable style with aromas of ripe plums and flavors of blackberry and cherry. This wine goes great with just about any meal, making it a good choice to have on hand for every day.
