Five Oaks Merlot 2005

I found this wine under my roommate's sofa when she was moving out, and I honestly should have left it there. This wine was like a punch in the face with a vanilla bean. VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA OAK OAK OAK OAK OAK (the label did say five oaks, so I was sufficiently warned.) As it opened up, it took on a raisin-y taste, but not really in a good way, like you'll find in carignanes. Definitely not the worst wine I've ever put in my mouth, but more or less exactly what you’d expect for a wine under the sofa.
