Tasting - Omo Ze Bel Merlot

Name:  Omo Ze Bel
Variety:  100% Merlot
Region:  Sicilia
Country:  Italy
Year:  2011
Price:  $6.95

Winery review:  This bright, soft Merlot comes from a hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily. It has hints of red cherries and freshly cut hay.  Exceptional value.

My review:  I thought this Merlot had a strong cherry nose. On the palate, it was light-bodied (not a velvety wine), but had a somewhat rough/hot finish to it that lasted. Probably one of my least favorite wines yet.


Food:  Did not have with food
