Tasting- Bay Bridge Merlot









  
Name: Bay Bridge Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $5
Wine Review: Deep ruby color. Red berry, fruit gum, and spiced nut aromas. A brisk entry leads to a fruity medium body of berry jam and pencil flavors. Finishes with a quick powdery tannin fade. An easy going quaffer for picnics.

My Review: This wine was very dark red in color and smells like raspberries mixed with pepper. It doesn't smell sweet like many of the wines that I have written about so far, instead it smells very spicy. After tasting this wine I determined it was pretty dry and my palate was overwhelmed with the spices. It was a very unique wine when compared to the ones I have had before, but definitely isn't the worst I have tasted. I did not have food with this wine.
