Tasting- Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot


Name: Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: New York
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $10.99
Wine Critic Review: The smell is sweet, sun-ripened blackberries with a bare hint of alcohol. There are flavors of blackberry and subtle raspberry.  It is a delicious blend of full bodied Merlot wine and natural blackberry flavor, which makes it an idea beverage for casual dining, festive celebrations, and a quiet evening at home.
My Review:  The nose was very alcoholic and acidic.  The first taste was dark, sweet, but surprisingly not very full.  I could taste blackberry, raspberry, and hints of green apple.  It was a very smooth wine.  I drank this wine with a pasta dinner which made it taste less fruity, more tangy, and stronger flavors of raspberry. Delicious, sweet wine for a very reasonable price.
