This is quite an interesting Merlot, not least because it actually lives up to Merlot's reputation as the soft Cabernet. It's ripe and juicy in cherry flavor, with a rich, olive-y earthiness enhanced and framed by oak. At the same time, it's dry. The softness is balanced by wonderfully thick, fine tannins, with a grip that cries out for steak.
