This is an OK wine to drink with food but not as 'soft' or rounded as other Merlot wines I have bought in the past. I would not buy this particular one again.

Not so "in your face" as the Chilean or Australian merlots, but well rounded and with a lingering flavour of plums. Excellent good value wine for everyday drinking.
