Tasting - Stone Cellars Merlot

Name: Stone Cellars Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: California
Country: The United States of America
Year: 2010
Price: $10.95

Winery Review: The rich fruit flavors in Stone Cellars Merlot are concentrated but wonderfully balanced. It is full of ripe cherry and black stone fruit on the nose, along with a hint of mint. The intense flavors of plum, blueberry and blackberry are all enhanced by warm, brown spices that linger on the finish. The Stone Cellars Merlot is perfect as a pre-dinner aperitif, as well as an ideal match for a variety of rich dishes such as chili con carne or pasta puttanesca.

My Review: I found this wine to have almost too strong of a blend of berries to the point it had no discernable taste. I did not enjoy this wine because it did not carry enough taste or scent that was pleasant.

Did not eat with food.
