There is no overt ripeness, powerful suggestions of alcohol or anything else aggressive about this friendly Merlot. Dry and nicely balanced, with inviting aromas and appealing red fruit flavors this is a wine that will fit tastily into any casual meal. It’s another example of Jed Steele’s commitment to producing fairly priced and easy drinking wines.
