Garnet hue with purple highlights and aromas of rather "grapey" bouquet which is unexpected from a Merlot or actually ANY wine that is not made for guzzling or is plonk.
Palate--Understated, but with red berry fruit with spices at the edges, and not the "grapey" presentation it gave in the nose. Still not very "Merlot" like.
This is a Trader Joe's offering and even at $7 it is fleeting barely drinkable though the uninitiated would never notice. If you don't mind plonk, there is worse but this is not characteristic Merlot. Pass...
