Comments:

Not an overly fruity wine with just very limited black cherry flavor on the front end. Coupled with this mild fruit up front was a surprising bitterness. The finish tried to add some Oak and complexity and did help, but as a whole, not an impressive wine.

 

From the Label:

Forest Glen Winery's flagship Merlot embodies the finest qualities of the varietal. Using Bordeaux-style blending techniques winemaker Ed Moody has created an elegant, supple-textured wine whose bright cherry and berry flavors complement a wide range of foods, from rich fish to red meats.
