Turning Leaf Merlot 2006

Vineyards : Turning Leaf
Wine: Merlot

Location: California
Year: 2006

Purchased at: Walmart
Price: $6.35

Description on the bottle:

Turning Leaf Merlot is a lush, elegant, and flavor wine. Rich in dark fruit flavor, merlot introduces a variety of tastes to its oak-softened texture. Splashes of cherry, plum and chocolate create a charming and magical blend to savor as a way of transforming any moment into an enchanting one.

Color: dark red

My experience:

From a layman's view, this tastes like a regular wine. It is pretty flavorful as described, but I don't detect a complex flavor, but a strong, basic bread-and-butter wine taste. It is not overwhelming, but exactly how I would expect a red wine to taste.

Rating: 5/10
