Shop Review: Round, velvety and mouthfilling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price. Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruity, but with a slightly tomatoey note. Soft on the finish. Drink now.
My Review: I immediately noticed the presence of some types of spices in this, including a smell of spicy cinnamon. I also did notice the black cherry scent. I thought this tasted just like espresso coffee, which was something I didn't expect but actually enjoyed. I could also taste some spicyness similar to a pepper but I couldn't pinpoint which one. I enjoyed this Merlot and would definitely drink it again.
I did not pair this with food but would like to try it with a steak or some type of meat!
