Some nice Dark fruit flavors on the nose and finish, but does not contain the alcohol. Did not impress me but it was not terrible.

Wonderful floral nose, very different tasting wine compared to others I have had. A great experience!

Nice cherry flavors. Overall a good wine, nothing fabulous but for the price a great experience. I would rate it in the 87 point area. I recommend everyone seeking

2003 Babich Merlot Reserve

Luscious fruit that tastes very good. Does not last long on the finish and is a bit one dimensional but very tasty. For only $13 this is a great wine to enjoy with friends and family. I highly recommend this wine for anyone, but do not expect anything amazing. It is very enjoyable!

I would Have to disagree with the rating above about it being "fishy" and metallic. I found this wine absolutely wonderful. Great combo of flavors such as sour cherry as well as a more earthy tone to it. This is not a fruit bomb and I applaud it for that. I have had other Shiraz/Viognier's that were fruit bombs and enjoyed those as well. But this definitively brings lots of good things to your pallet.
