WTN: Napa Valley Vineyards Merlot Reserve 2003

E. & J. Gallo.

Dark cherry red in the glass.

Chocolate, cinnamon and alcohol on the nose.

Black cherry and raspberry, chocolate, tea, light weight, spicy, red licorice, quite thin and tart toward the end. The thinness and tartness did did calm down with time, but it still retained much of its original tanginess.

A drying finish.

Purchased on sale at $14.30 (Canadian) and not worth it, IMHO.
