Tasting- Omo Ze Bel Merlot


Name: Omo Ze Bel Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95 (on sale)
Wine Critic Review: This bright, soft Merlot comes from a hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily.  It has hints of red cherries and freshly cut hay.  Exceptional value.
My Review: This wine had strong fruit flavor with black cherries and red fruit.  The overall cherry flavor was the first thing to stick out to me, since it was almost overpowering.  I could also taste straw, dirt, bright overtones and hints of raspberry.  This wine was surprisingly sweet to me and very enjoyable.  I did not eat any food with this wine.
