Blackberry and cinnamon aromas give way to ripe flavors of cherry and red currant. The richness of fruit gives this wine a soft texture with supple tannins. An excellent food wine.

A subtle style, with green olive-scented blackberry and tar flavors wrapped in frim tannins, echoing on the lingering finish. Best from 2009 through 2013.

Body and flavor are perfectly matched and exquisitely balanced, achieving a delicate harmony found in only the finest wines. Red Rock Merlot is an excellent match for a wide range of foods, particularly herb-based dishes, light pasta, grilled meats, and mild cheeses.

In a flight of inexpensive Australian Merlot, this wine stood out for its density and concentration. Which is not to say it's a big wine, but it does offer plenty of mixed berry fruit and hints of chocolate in a medium-bodied wine. Picks up some savory olive and coffee notes on the mouthwatering finish.

Great nose. Lots of blackberry and ripe cherry fruit with hints of chocolate and soft tannins for easy drinkability. Unbelievable value for this wine.

The red wines begin with the 2006 Merlot, aged in 50% American and 50% French oak. Dark ruby-color it exhibits scorched earth, black currant, and blackberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, the wine has a firm structure and good length. Although it may evolve for a few years, it may be enjoyed presently.
