Tight nose. Medium-full body. Very soft (too soft for me really), a touch of spice, sweetish. Uncomplicated and super-easy-drinking. A very basic, but good, all purpose house wine. If you want a party wine that will please most and offend few, this is it.

A lovely merlot at a very reasonable price. Excellent with beef, but not too demanding against pork or chicken. Not too sweet, but still lots of berry undertones. Friends coming over? ... buy a magnum or two!!

Soft, fruity, and easy drinking; basic but enjoyable as a casual sipper.
