I can't say that I am fan of Merlot, and can't say that I am not a fan of it either, but I respect the grape. This Arabella Merlot has a nice spicy component to it with both traditional plum and black currant. And just like on the bottle, you can get a taste of both coffee and chocolate. Its because of the latter that I gave this wine a rating of ten. The finish is great and the tannins are very soft, almost as soft as extra soft tissues.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
