Tasting - Foxhorn Vineyards Merlot

Name: Foxhorn Vineyards Merlot
Variety: 100% Merlot
Region: South Eastern

Country: Australia
Year: Not Sure
Price: $3.99
Winery Review:
Our luscious, soft Merlot layers crushed berry aromas with rich plum flavors.  Subtle hints of toasty oak complement this smooth, medium-bodied wine."


 My Review:  Aromas of plum and ripe, red berries present that matches the ruby red color of the wine.  The first flavor that comes through is plum with a woody oak aftertaste that is not overbearing at all.  The tannin structure is quite good with a pleasant tingling sensation that coats your mouth as you swish it around.  The wine has a medium body that was quite smooth.  For a boxed Merlot, this is actually quite good.  The fruit and oak are very well balanced.  I did not try this with food.
