I've been lookinfg for a nice Merlot for a while- someone recommended this- easy pleasant taste- quite fruity- drinkable on its own or with any meal- Very good value at the £6.00 I paid- not sure Id go much higher than £7 though

I bought this to serve to friends at a buffet lunch party and was complimented by more than one person on my choice. It is medium bodied enough to drink on its own but went well with an assortment of food. I would order it again as my regular house red.

Having tried various other Merlots we have settled on this one, it's a soft wine that goes well with most food. It's also a lovely drink on its own.
Pleasant Wine.

This wine is easy drinking! Suitable with a meal or evenings with friends. Just a very pleasant wine with a mellow taste. Certainly a wine I have bought many times before and will continue to do so.
