Tasting 2011 Backstory Merlot



• Name: 2011 Backstory Merlot
• Variety: Merlot  
• Region: California
• Country: U.S
• Year: 2011
• Price: $9.99
• Shop/wine critic/winery review:"A supple, medium-bodied red wine with inviting aromas and flavors of black cherry, herbs and spice. Balanced with a smooth texture and soft tannins for a lingering, satisfying finish."
• My review: This red wine had a nice smell of different berries, spices, and oak. I thought the wine had a very balanced body, it was acidic and dry, while still having some fruitiness. The finish was long lasting with nice flavors. The tannins might be a little strong for novice drinkers, but I was able to handle it with no problem. 
• I had this wine at home with no food.
