I'm a huge fan of the Hourglass Merlot. In fact it's one of my top rated wines. When I found the HG3 I was a little mind blown. If I don't drink it next to the merlot I would swear it's 95% of the way there. For $33 I'm pretty excited for this one. It leans heavily into my region of the radar chart (tannic, aromatic, berries).
You'll have to forgive my tasting notes. I'm not a foodie so I sometimes compare them to some odd things. Although this one was pretty straight forward with A medium+ aroma, goody body, a decent amount of tannins. The mid to dark berry fruits were present, but not jammy, a littl brighter. Not a ton of acid or wood.
