Variety - Merlot
Region - Sonoma County California

Price - $11
WineMag.com reveiw: 88/100
"This is a fine Merlot, that's dry, supple and highly drinkable. It has some complex flavors of cherries, currants and smoky oak, and the alcohol is refreshingly moderate. Ready to drink now."
Personal Review: 4/5
Tasting Notes:
I chose once upon a dream because I wanted an affordable introduction to Merlot. I found it to be very pleasant, not my favorite but a well balanced mix of the flavors I hope to find in a red wine. From the swirl and sniff I smelled various fruit, mainly cherry. I tasted it without a food pairing, and the fruit aroma carried through to the palate, but was balanced with a moderate acidity that was not overpowering. The flavors persisted for a while, and transitioned to a light acidic not that dried my mouth, making me want to keep sipping to refresh the fruity notes. Overall it was very enjoyable and I hope to try out some more Merlot soon.
