Official Review:  " This ruby colored Merlot has raspberry jam aromas with a subtle hint of spice. Layers of vanilla, plum and fig are revealed that linger ever so slightly on the palate."

My Review:  The official review says it all.  My untrained pallet could even start to detect the after taste of a vanilla plum.  I imagined paring this wine with a rare steak and a side of buttery asparagus.  I believe for this price, it is a great wine.  There was a high level of tannins that came on strong at the end, but a 6-10.
