Tasting - Five Rivers Merlot

Name: Five Rivers Merlot 
Variety: 82% Merlot, 15% Petite Verdot, 3% Malbec
Region: Monterey, California
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $18

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

My review: I really enjoyed this wine! It was silky, and full bodied; a very dark red.  I picked up some notes of dark cherries, but not much else.  

I had this wine without food
