Lindemans 2006 Merlot South Africa

A clear, bright medium depth ruby-violet colored wine with very little structure to it. There are light/faint berry notes (black/raspberry) for your nose and about the same for your taste buds. It's not especially astringent, (read lightly dry) with so-so balence and short finish. It's pleasant enough to sip, but why, really? Best for sipping than dinner but just barely. Check out some of the other choices instead of this....
