Everything about this wine is perfect, except the price. For this quality, we had a higher price in mind. A remarkable achievement. We don't say it often, but this wine is actually too cheap. It starts with the aroma, where a rich bouquet greets your nose. You smell delicate fruit, raspberries, and red berries, but also anise, licorice, and lilac. The aroma alone makes us secretly fall in love with Oxford Landing Merlot. The palate is velvety smooth. You'll keep sipping. Initially, notes of plum and raspberry are immediately noticeable. Taste again, and rich, warm, black cherries complete the flavor palette. The finish is surprisingly long. Oxford Landing Merlot is a must-have for your wine cellar!Product details
