Tasting- Estrella


Name Estrella
Variety:  Merlot
Region:  Napa Valley
Country:  California
Year:  2009
Price:   $5.95
Shop Review:  This ruby colored Merlot has raspberry jam aromas with a subtle hint of spice. Layers of vanilla, plum and fig are revealed that linger ever so slightly on the palate
My Review:  This wine had a pretty burgundy color and had a nice dark smell of tobacco and spice.  It tasted of spice and raspberry with a very small amount of heat.  More tannic than the other wines of the day, and left the mouth dry. 

I tried this wine without food.
