"We buy this every time!!!"
"Very good wine!"
"N/A"
"Like it lots. Not quite as nice as the Spencer Merlot, but acceptable."
"While I can drink this wine, it was a disappointment. There is no real body to it - it's thin and lacks the fruit "punch" I associate with a good Merlot. Even in the glass, it seems almost transparent I'd associate it's character more with a pinot noir than merlot. Again, I'd drink it, but I'd never be a repeat buyer."
"Lone Cardinal Merlot pairs wonderfully with a great steak or the hearty roast I make for family dinners."
"very nice"
"Not to my taste. Too sweet, I think."
"I couldn't get passed a few sips. I mistakenly bought this for a 2nd time after confusing it with a different bird on the bottle wine."
