Smooth Merlot sensation unfolds with a subtle, transparent appearance and a tart cherry bouquet, giving a graceful symmetry of flavors. The tongue is characterized by a smooth, silky touch and a moderate level of residual sugar, accompanied by a soft tannic grip. This wine is a smooth surprise, markedly for those who may not typically enjoy Merlot or Malbec. Its floral flavors of violet and peony are present, even as a diverse range of fruit flavors, consisting of plum, blueberry, cherry, and fig, are also detected. Overall, this wine is a well-crafted elite for those desiring a smooth, inviting Merlot.
