Dark beet red, with a sweetly floral impression adding more depth to the fruity fragrance, this is an impeccably balanced Merlot. It has robust, sunny flavors and a lush texture, yet nothing here is overdone. Another bonus is the persistent, follow-through flavors on the finish. A lip-smacking wine indeed.
