Tasting - Skyfall Merlot

Name: Skyfall Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Country: USA
Year: 2016
Price: $20, on sale for $9.95

Shop Review: Wonderfully developed plum, vanilla and leather aromas swirl in the glass. Juicy flavors of cherry candy coupled with hints of cocoa powder weave through the palate. Balanced acidity and polished tannins on the finish.
~ Vintage Cellar

My Review: I could immediately detect a cherry and pepper aroma. The aromas gave me the impression that this would be a heavier wine. Tasting the wine, I was not a fan. There was too much acidic and tannic components. The wine gave an unpleasant kick at the end. The body of the wine was heavy and was not good.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
