About Merlot
Similar to Cabernet Sauvignon but with less tannin and fruit. Delivers earlier maturing wines. Often blended with Cabernet; on its own may soften with age, though fruit flavors may fade.

This is a great wine just to sit down and watch ninja warrior
Light but flavorful. Good for sipping or with light foods.
It was nice, light smooth flavor. I love a red that doesn't over power your food.
Smooth texture, fruity & light on the palate, pleasant to drink
My preference are red wines. Eileens Edition Merlot is mellow and warm which met my expectations!
-
pale color,insipid taste and aroma, a hint of salad vinegar.
I am not a big Merlot person. This wine was just OK for me! Sorry! Stan
we enjoyed this one
flavors were of a musky order that was not very pleasant
Nice...smooth.
-
Very pleasant on the pallet but a little less memorable than other Merlots i have experienced.
Excellent with a light pasta dish. I loved the way the roasted coffee flavor really cam through. All of the flavors were distinct and blended smoothly.
A smooth start with rich flavor - especially of casis. A clean finish - very nice
Just a wonderful wine that doesn't need a meal accompanying it. Great all by itself. Thanks for including it in the shipment. Betty
Excellent,all around wine with subtle fruits to tantalize. Thank you

It was horrible! I opened it to share with friends and ended up dumping it down the drain!
too much berry for my taste
This Merlot is a bit sweeter than I prefer. I enjoy the tangy dry tast.
This wine was very pleasing
Nice color, good nose, light taste, watery, no finish. Tight... hold for a year.
-
Very smooth and fullbodied Merlot. Excellent for sipping or with a red meat meal.
delicious!
WHAT CAN I SAY? GREAT WINE, ROBUST AND GOES DOWN SO SWEETLY AND SMOOTHLY.
Excellent
I'm not much of a red wine drinker. But I still order one a month because I would love to start drinking it. This one was to strong, I like fruity...I will keep trying and hope to find one!

this label has never disappointed us yet!
I don't usually like Merlot, but htis was good.
I NEVER DRINK RED WINE AND ONLY COOK WITH IT BUT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TASTE THIS wow
This bottle of wine was below average in my opinion. I would not purchase it again.

I'm not a big Merlot fan, but this wine was great - definitely something you'd want to have as "staples".
A very smooth, fruity wine with a special ability to go with spicy foods. Curried rice and this Merlot were made for each other beautifully.
had with roast lamb. was very nice
very mellow, berry tastes run together.
Flat

i loved this merlot.
one of the best merlot we have drank.
Terrible. Worst merlot I've ever had. Waaaaaaay too young to be consumed in my opinion. Hoping I just got a bad bottle. I would not drink this wine again.
nice flavor, good body
Too dry.
-
very smooth, cant quite place the berry but you know it is there. this would be great with my rice.
Loved description on back of bottle. I could relate.
Smooth...but almost too smooth. A good red for the novice "red drinker".
Nice for drinking with the meal and for a while after it.
It is really a 3+ It leaves a little after taste. Thats what my husband say. I love it I would give it a 4
-
wow
Nice light flavor
It tasted good wasnt too bitter or sour I could really taste the fruit flavors.
Very smooth enjoyed with out door grilled beef.
Great berry flavors.
-
For a Merlot, I found this wine to be more robust than most. It had good balance and aromas of cherry and spice. The flavor elements of cherry, berry, and spice were layered to provide unexpected complexity and excellent finish not often found in a Merlot in this price range.
I had a big group of people at my home and this wine was a big hit too. I do like the chardonnay you have sent today too.
Enjoyed with crusted rack of lamb and salad. Better Merlot than I've had lately.
very surprised, as i am not a fan of merlot: gentle, kind, exquisite flavoring, fruity but without a bite.
Very Light, seemed to improve in palate
-
one of the only merlots i like
