Vineyard: Tishbi
Wine: Merlot, 2000
Type: Dry Red

A beautiful label - black background with silver and gray highlights and red leaves.

Not just is the label attractive, but he color of this Tishbi, Merlot 2000 is perfect. A deep red. Unfortunately, the wine is out of balance.

This Merlot is slightly acidic and a little bitter. There is practically no aroma whatsoever. What this wine needs is both body and flavor. Although it is reasonably priced there are better wines for the price.
