Wine shop (The Best Wine Store) review: Black Box Merlot Wine displays aromas of leathery plums and cinnamon-spiced oak. The palate is smooth, medium weight and aged textured with a sweet red currant taste. It has a long finish that is warm with reserved tannins. The acidity in it allows it to be paired with a lot of foods like hamburgers.
Wine Folly: pg. 131- I drank the wine at room temperature, as recommended and I tasted the black cherry and plum that was mentioned. I noticed a slight herbal aroma and flavor, but did not get any vanilla or chocolate.
My review: Strong cherry flavor, also some blackberries and raspberries. Also tasted dried fruit, like raisins, and cherries. I thought it was pretty light to medium-bodied and not too tannic. I got just a hint of acidity, but overall a good balance. However I didn't like the aftertaste. I did not try this with food. This was my first time trying Merlot and I thought it was just okay, but I would like to try some more Merlots in the future.
