Wine review: Ripe cherry and blackberry fruit stars in this easy-drinking wine, with oak providing toasty sweetness. It’s an everyday, cheeseburger-friendly Merlot.



My review: Five Rivers produces with this great, cheap Merlot. Very smooth, it's a great start to an evening. The nose brings a great cherry/plum aroma with a blackberry and blueberry taste. Not too strong on the mid palate but its finish leaves you wanting more. This is a great choice for a relaxing show or musical at The Smith Center. With this wine, you can be classy (for cheap).
