Tasting Omo Ze Bel Merlot


• Name: Omo Ze Bel Merlot
• Variety: Merlot  
• Region: Sicily
• Country: Italy
• Year: 2011
• Price: $6.95
• Shop/wine critic/winery 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 red wine was one of my favorite at the wine tasting. It had a dark and purple color. I thought the smell of this wine was very pleasant, it was full of berries and some oak, along with tannins of course. Moving on to the taste, this wine had a very strong taste of oak, perhaps it was in an oak barrel for too long. I found this wine to be not well balanced, it was a bit too overpowering of tannins for me as well. This wine also had a hot finish.  
• I had this wine at a wine tasting.
