$5 Merlot
Little Boomey
South Eastern Australia 2005
Albertsons

This bright red wine smells sweet with hints of chocolate and cocoa. Upon tasting it, I don't pick up any chocolate, but plums and berries are strong. There is even a bit of citrus flavors that pop out towards the end of the sip. There is definitely a grassy quality to this wine, but it's pretty good overall.

I give this decent wine a 4 out 5 stars
