Tasting- Electric City Merlot

Name: Electric City
Variety:  Merlot
Region:  Washington
Country: USA
Year: 2008
Price: $20

Winery review: Young, full bodied, tannins dominate, relatively monolithic, a reasonable aftertaste. A big fruity nose of dark fruit and pepper, primary flavors of intense dark fruit, oak and earthy undertones.

 

My review: This was a very delicious dark wine.  Of all the red wines we tasted all night this was my favorite.  It has a little bit of an oak flavor but was far from overwhelming.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
