Waterbrook Merlot 2018

The aromas are reserved, with notes of vanilla, nougat and cherry. Plump raspberry and fruit leather flavors that dip in the middle, creating a doughnut hole, flesh it out. The warmth of the vintage carries it away at times, but there is still plenty of enjoyment and value to be had. 

Vibrant aromas of green herbs, orange oil, plum, smoke and Vicks VapoRub lead to lightly styled fruit flavors. It's an unusual offering of the variety.
