Tasting - "Gnarly Head Merlot"

Name: Gnarly Head Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $7.99

Winery review: "Classic, supple and anything but shy - lush, velvety tannins frame rich black cherry, blackberry, ripe plum, sweet herbs and a hint of spice."

My review: Definitely has a rich fruity nose with plum and cherry scents.  Full of berry and plum flavors, very fruity all-around.  Had a medium tart finish.  Overall I thought this was pretty good, I liked it better than the last Merlot I tried since it was less oaky and more fruity.
