Sweet oak and ripe cherries and blueberries on the nose. Some cinnamon as well. Rich on the palate, but balanced w/ some nice chalky tannins -- very chocolatey. A solid wine, finishes nicely w/ some tartness and spice.
I don't know why people rant on merlot so badly, this was a beautiful wine at the right price.
Not sure if this was the reserve or not, the label was black which for Rancho Sisquoc usually means reserve i think ... ??? But it didn't say reserve on the bottle.
