An early blast of green bean and bell pepper soon subsides, leaving black currant, cherry and black pepper in its wake. The palate is healthy and sturdy, with cherry and cassis flavors mingling with mildly persistent green notes. While not vegetal, this Merlot does show some classic large-production characteristics: namely, dilution of fruit and a light herbaceousness.
