This Blackstone Merlot 2004 is a pleasant, dry wine. It’s a bit mild-tasting, not “big” like the cabernets and petite sirah we’ve had lately. It’s still quite tannic though. It has quiet fruit flavors (not at all jammy) with a hint of vanilla. It is altogether a nice wine and an interesting diversion from the big bold reds that we’ve been leaning toward.
