• Shop review:
• "Our 'Wineworks Purple,' the Merlot/Malbec is a fresh and invigorating pick.  Full of luscious, bright fruits on the palate and a clean finish.  This is a perfect wine to transition the seasons- with enough tannin to stand up to hearty winter soups and a delicate complexity that will not overpower fresh spring and summer meals."
• My review:
• The deep red color of this wine is very striking.  It is much sweeter than I had expected, and I mostly tasted plum.  This wine was also slightly oak-y.
• I did not have this wine with food.
