Name: Merlot Varietal: 100% Merlot
Region: Northern Virginia
Country: U.S.
Year: 2011
Price: $24
Winery Review: A medium bodied red with fresh red fruits and a touch of oak. Balanced with a combination of raspberry, cherry and red current notes. Ten months in French and American oak have added volume and richness. Made in a more approachable style, this wine is a good match for meats and pasta.
Personal Review: While no particular scents jumped out at me, The Barns Merlot had a generally sweet nose. The taste of this wine was similar to the taste in the fact that it wasn't really anything extraordinary. There were some soft oak flavors, but other than that it was a pretty average wine.
Food: N/A
