Vintage Wine Cellar (Amanda): "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 rather mediocre in my mind. I was not the biggest fan. This red had a mossy, Earthy, powerful aroma that really affected the taste and texture of this wine. The wine was very acidic and dry and had a "smokey" taste that reminded me of a Barbecue grill out. I can't emphasize enough how dry this wine really was! The tannins were out in full force and was enhanced by a bitter and tart-like taste.
