Tasting - Estrella Merlot

Name: Estrella Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95

Winery Review:
This ruby colored merlot has raspberry jam aromas with a subtle hint of spice. Layers of vanilla, plum and fig are revealed that linger ever so slightly on the palate.

My Review:
This wine had a fruity nose that smelled predominately like raspberry jam.  The body was very smooth with few tannins and tasted jammy.

I tried this alone without food.

  1. Do you mind telling me what state you live in and where you purchased this wine? I tried it at a local restaurant in Atlanta and I loved it and have been trying to find where I can buy it!
