Wine Shop Review: This bright, soft Merlot comes from a
hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily. It has hints
of red cherries and freshly cut hay. Exceptional value.
My Review: This Merlot was very promising when it came to
the nose. I got immediate red cherry like that of flavored medicine, black
cherry, and hints of farm. It smelled like the hay that you would find in a
barn. It had a mild tannin structure, and tasted very earthy and dirty. There
was a lack of a strong finish which was highly disappointing. The smell of this
wine was far greater than it actually tasted, so I would not try this one
again.
I did not taste this wine with food.
