Very nice, affordable Merlot. Aroma was strong but not overpowering, definet cherry and ripe red fruit, I thought I detected some black current. You notice the tannin on the atack, with an astringent slightly acid feel. The Evolution was fruity with Cherry overtones. I picked up a slight oak tast on the midium finish.

First time back to Silverado Merlot in about 10 years. Smooth and fruit forward as rememebered. Just a hint of mineral tones coming up, maybe more to come in time. Not as stellar as I remembered, but very good. Not a great value at $27.
