Winery review: The dark-maroon Merlot is a fruity, easy-to-drink wine. Aromas of plum with hints of coffee and dark chocolate build up to bold, fruity flavors of fresh cherries, ripe raspberries, and currant

My review: A delicious red wine. Strong on the fruit flavors, especially a cherry. There was a hint of bitter, I'm not sure I would classify it as a dark chocolate flavor as above. It was lighter than many red wines I have had. I would definitely have it again.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
