Dogwood & Thistle Merlot 2019 Review

Smells of cranberries and blueberries hit the nose, along with the slightest hint of pepper. It is light but has amazing depth that shines through its natural acidity. The balance in this wine is wonderful. You don't even need food, really. Merlot doesn't typically taste this good in America, but here we are with a proper expression of the grape. This wine is well worth your money and time online.
