Starts out with mildly herbal, salad-dressing aromas, but the palate is fairly full and creamy, with soft tomato, spice and generic berry flavors. Fresh due to adequate acidity, but tastes a little herbal and sharp all the way through. Good enough for the price. ——M.S.(12/31/2010)—— 84

Mildly sharp and herbal smelling, with olive, plum and leather aromas. Healthy in the mouth, maybe a touch needle-like, but overall the wine’s dry red fruit, pepper and herbal accents seem right for the category it’s playing in. Good for under $10.——M.S.(12/31/2009)—— 85

A springy nose of cherry, raspberry and chocolate is a good opener, while the palate boasts a mix of herbs, tobacco, olive and plum flavors. The feel is a high point, with lushness and balancing acidity each making a cameo. Finishes mildly peppery. Good Merlot for the money.——M.S.(7/1/2009)—— 86
