My Review:
Had a very strong bitter taste!! Did not like this at all. My initial reaction was to spit this out!
Critics Review:
Our “Wineworks Purple,” the Merlot|Malbec is a fresh and invigorating pick. Full of luscious, bright fruits on the palate and a clean finish. This is a perfect wine to transition the seasons– with enough tannin to stand up to hearty Winter soups and a delicate complexity that will not overpower fresh Spring and Summer meals

My Review:
I thought there was a bit of a sour aftertaste to the wine.
Critics Review:
A bright floral and citrusy wine made from the official wine variety of Virginia. Made in stainless steel tanks to highlight the fruit character, this wine is like drinking in a Virginia Summer day. The aromatic intensity is very inviting; the palate is dry and crisp with enough acidity to match up to many food pairings.

My Review:
I really didn't care for this wine at all. I thought it was really sour.
Critics Review:
A rounded,mouth filling wine. At the begining, it seems very soft, but then it is possible to discern rich tannins through the concentrated red fruits and black plums . The acidity is there all the time, a fine counterpoint to the seductive, rich fruits and dry tannins.

My Review:
I could taste some nutty flavors, like almonds. I smelled a little pear in the wine also. I thought it was pretty good, although it wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be.
Critics Review:
Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots, and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.

I thought this wine have a very berry taste to it. I didn't particularly care for this wine either.
