Peninsula Ridge Estates Winery A.J. Lepp Vineyards Reserve Merlot 2010
Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
 | Warm fermentation with frequent pump overs and a 20 day post fermentation maceration. Aged in a blend of new and one year old French and American oak barrels for a 1 year duration. Only the best barrels selected for the final blend.
Smoky cassis and red cherry on the nose. The palate has fine tannins with soft plum, blueberry and smoky cherry flavours. A lengthy softer finish with featuring fine tannins. |
