[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t like it. It was too dry and the taste was not good to me. I thought I would be able to overcome the taste for the buzz of the wine but I wasn’t. I ended up pouring almost the whole bottle out. Not my style.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the perfect wine pairing for dessert! With hints of blueberry and rum, this went amazingly with a blueberry rum cake. You can also tastes a hint of molasses, which I will again be pairing with my home made molasses cookies. I will definitely be drinking this wine again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rum Barrell Aged Merlot is great; it is such a wonderful price point for the quality it definitely tastes like a much more expensive merlot. Great aroma and smooth finish. I love it! I will buy this again and pair it with pasta dishes or fish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A plush Merlot with hints of dark cherry & black plum gives way to subtle black pepper & fresh tobacco notes. The wine delivers a rich texture with velvety tannins. Pairs beautifully with chicken dishes, coconut curry, & pasta. Definitely delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very bold wine and I definitely recommend this wine for someone who doesn’t like super sweet wine. It not too dry where you can barely drink it and not at all too sweet where you can drink the whole thing. I love the dark berry smell, like blueberries and blackberries. This wine is also on the softer side so you don’t feel it as much going down because it has less acidity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i love how well blended this wine is and how well it pairs with my charcuterie board. I love the flavor. its very good. i love the aroma from the first time i opened the bottle to the very last sip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a wine and rum lover I was thrilled to try this wine aged in rum barrels. What a fun concept! I paired this with some nice cheeses and apples. Plum and blueberry notes were quite forward. The sweetness of the aftertaste was gorgeous. A lot of the spices stayed with me too which made this a very cozy drink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I WILL DEFINITELY BE BUYING THIS AGAIN!!! The smells from uncorking it will remind you of a smokey wine that you crave after a long day of work. Tastes of tart plum are the first flavors that my tongue recognized and the a sweetness from the coconut. I would definitely pair this with a tomato based pasta or a pesto sauce. Today I had it in a clean palate for first tastes! I wanted it raw just to get the true flavors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After letting the bottle breathe this Merlot has a slightly sweet aroma and paired well with linguini and tomatoes. This rum barrel-aged Merlot felt full in my mouth and went down smoothly. It would be very easy to keep drinking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I must admit this was too much for me, I do not like a very sweet wine and the flavors I got from this were fruity and sweet, but I still shared it with friends. Not a favorite but you can not always like everything. thank you
