This is a rather dull, tired and sweet merlot with chocolate, prune and dried herbs on the nose and finish. It's...

Loved the berries, chocolate, smokiness and spice in this wine. Especially the smokiness... it just felt luxurious which was great given that this wine is less than $20.

We served it with homemade beef burgers flavored with garlic and horseradish and a homemade pasta salad with red chilies and goat cheese. Really lovely.
