McGuigan Bin No. 578 Merlot 2010


Appearance: Bright purpley red.
Aroma: Simple and clean black fruit.
Flavour: Medium-bodied merlot with smooth tannins and nice savoury oak. The hot climate has produced flavours of caramel and stewed plums.

This is currently sitting on the end of the isle in my local Sainsbury's along with others in the same £4.00 - £5.00 price range. Not worth the £9.99 SRP but at the moment £4.99 gives you a reasonable, no-thrills wine.
