The ‘13 Broadside Merlot is so dark that only a speck of light gets through. The nose is fabulously deep, with big cassis aromas playing fast and loose with coffee, cocoa, licorice, sage and a puff of campfire smoke. Fruit flavors dominate the palate - blue and black berries, plums and black currants. There is a layer of holiday spice on a layer of chunky minerality wrapped in a lovely acidity and tied up with tannins that are almost as smooth as silk.

2018 vintage. I’m not usually a merlot drinker, so this was just a random trial of a wine that got decent reviews. Fine, but lacks any distinction, so won’t get again

2018 Merlot. Nice inexpensive red with almost zero headache factor! Tastes pricier than the $12 plus I paid.

Very fruity nose. Raspberry and blackberry jam. Sweet ripe red fruits, sharp tannin and nice finish. Very good.

A very unique Merlot. Oaky, a little jammy, leather and vanilla.
