Barrel Oak Merlot 2009

Lable of Barrel Oak

Varietal:  Merlot
Virginia, USA
29.00 USD

Soft and sensual with balanced acidity.  This fruit-forward Merlot represents ideal wine making condition from vine to bottle.  Barreled in American and Hungarian oak, the finish is reminiscent of espresso and warm croissant.  (Barrel Oak Winery)

I don't really remember a whole lot about this wine standing out to me.  There some red fruits on the nose but nothing overwhelmingly jumped out at me.  It did have a nice silky nose and feel to it but not much else backing that up.
