Is Grand Estates Merlot a good wine?

What reviewers say

“Finally some Merlot worth drinking. Already nicely aged though its colour is still quite dark ruby red. Intense and strong bouquet of lovely fruity-spicy aromas of good depth and complexity.”

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

In addition to the winemaking team's commitment to quality, Columbia Crest is also dedicated to producing approachable wines that people will enjoy. Our heritage of winemaking excellence is applied to every bottle—we strive to produce wines that are balanced, rich in flavor, and surpass expectations.
