Merlot can cover every base from light and crunchy to dense and soupy. This wine is super-bright with cranberry and cherry fruit and a fresh red feel throughout the palate. It is a medium weight wine, with no oak or tannin, which allows it to glide, nimbly across the palate. There is a nice lick of tension on the finish on account of the crunchy acidity. It basically does a remarkably pure Merlot-jig on your tongue and we really like its moves!
