Tasting - Vintage 2012 Bogle Vineyards Merlot

Name: Bogle Vineyards Merlot
Variety: 100% Merlot
Region: Clarksburg, California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $12

Winery review: "Supple and easygoing, with appealing flavors of black cherry, toasty oak and herb. Drink now through 2018." - Wine Spectator 88 points

My review: A straight forward purple color poured from the bottle. The aromas were quite pleasing with plum and cherry and a nice floral scent. Taste was harsh with the acidity and burn. I picked up a plum flavor with spicy notes. Not my favorite wine yet, however this wasn't a bad choice and I would try this again, decanted of course.

The wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
