Tasting - Jekel Merlot

Jekel Vineyards Merlot
Name: Jekel Vineyards
Variety: Merlot
Region: Monterey, California
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: $11.99

Winery review: A really fine effort, the perfectly ripened '09 Jekel Vineyards Merlot starts out with a bright red fruit aroma and finishes, with a seductive mix of beautiful berry flavors. 89 Points - Wilfred Wong

My review: This wine was rather appetizing, especially after decanting. The nose was dark with notes of black cherry, black currant, and fig. The taste was spicy with hints of clove and black pepper, as well as a finish of cherries and toasted oak.
