Winery Review:
Aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, and chocolate-dipped cherries give way to flavors of bing cherries, sweet anise, vanilla, and roasted coffee. The color is bright-to-dark ruby red.
My Review:
I really liked this. I've had some prior experience with Toasted Head and while I did enjoy their chardonnay, I really liked their Merlot. I got cinnamon and chocolate on the nose and I definitely got almost this creamy, vanilla and coffee flavor to it. Full bodied too which was a nice change in pace from other wines this week.

I did not have this wine with food.
