I love Merlot's because they are usually a very balanced and versatile wine. This wine was not that at all! I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't blown away. It was not as full bodied as I'm used to and there was way too much acid present. I feel like it would probably go well with some fatty or spicy food, but for me it was just a late night sipper!

makes me think of: bitter cold nights
