Tasting - Omo Ze Bel Merlot

Name: Omo Ze Bel Merlot
Variety:  100% Merlot
Year:  2011
Region: Sicilia
Country:  Italy
Price: $6.95

Review:  "This bright, soft Merlot comes from a hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily. It has hints of red cherries and freshly cut hay.  Exceptional value."

My Review:  This Merlot had a slight aroma of fresh cut grass.  On the palate it was juicy and rich with a long finish.  I picked up on some dark fruits, along with a dark pertroluem type of taste.  It was a very complicated wine that would have paired nicely with food, which I did not taste with it.
