2009 Purple Moon Merlot



Place to buy: Trader Joes

Cost: $3.99

Variety: Actually a blend, 77% Merlot, with Petite Syrah, Malbec and Petite Verdot

Lori's score: 4/10

Nate's score: 4/10

Comments: Not the worst TJs bottle I've had, but right up there. Just a bit too smoky or something. I'm not saying I like sweet, but a little something would be nice. As you drink, it does get better like any, but too much of "all of the same" taste. I remember the first sip I tasted, I was excited since it's a cool bottle and name (I know, I know....) but it was just too.. ugh..it burns and yeah.  There must be something about it that is specific to my tastes as other reviewers give it more like a 5 or 6 and say that it's decent. Not again for us.
