Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

For an inexpensive wine this had layers of aromas and flavours. On the nose; smoke, leather, blackberry and caramel. Smooth tannins balanced nicely with acidity and lots of fruit. Medium body with a medium finish. Great pairing with bbq'd meatballs and sausage rolls. A good inexpensive bbq wine for the patio this summer when you have a large crowd!

Shelley Harris rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This medium-bodied wine has notes of blackberries and other berries, with a smooth finish. This merlot would pair well with a robust tomato pasta sauce.

Natalie's Review

Woodbridge Winery Merlot 2012, California, United States: Another terrific red wine from Woodbridge at an amazingly great price point! This smooth Merlot offers attractive aromas of black plum, cedar and smoke. Full-bodied, smooth and supple. Never boring. Pair with grilled chicken.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
