Smooth and mellow
This was a very plesant wine to drink. It was mellow and fruity without being too astringent. It was easy to drink and wasn't too heavy - this would be great with Sunday lunch. The bottle looks nice and would also be nice to give as a gift.

Amazing for the calories!
As far as wines go, this may not be up there with the best, but it holds its own amongst the more affordable options. The smell and taste were very intense cherry; this was evident straight away, and the flavour was lovely. Very strong dark berries came through instantly, and I got a hint of raspberry even though that wasn't mentioned in the tasting notes. What lets it down a little is that the flavour doesn't linger. The wine is quite 'thin' with a 'clean' mouth feel, so it's almost like as soon as you've swallowed, the flavours have gone. Other wines feel 'thicker', with the taste lasting longer. However, what I really loved was the calories. As someone who tracks calorie intake, wine is rarely my first choice due to the fact that they're usually quite calorie dense. I was delighted to see this was 66 cals per 100ml, making it one of the lowest calorie wines out there. And what's best is that it still manages to be a very respectful 11%! Will I be buying again? Definitely!

Smooth and fruity
We loved this wine! It was really flavoursome and really smooth. It wasn’t heavy or to dry. A lovely red.

Hardys VR Merlot Red Wine
This is a very nice merlot. I normally drink a stronger wine as I find lower percentages taste more like juice than alcoholic beverages. 11% is normally way too low for my tastes but this was lovely. It certainly tasted stronger than it was but also very fruity as well. I will definitely purchase this.

Not very drinkable!
Found this wine to be rather unpleasant. Quite sour tasting and could not get any of the notes described. Would not buy again.

Pleasant
Pleasant red, nice accompaniment to and used as an ingredient in a slow cooked casserole. There are more sophisticated wines out there, but for this price you cannot grumble! Will buy again!

Great for a cheap wine
I enjoyed the fruity taste, it's a smooth sweet. Really good for a cheap red wine. No bitterness to it.

A Nice Glass of Red
This is a really nice bottle if wine. It is smooth and has quite a soft flavour. It isn’t too dry - some reds I find too dry for my taste - and goes well with a meal. It would be perfect with a steak or a good cheese board. The label looks classy and neat. I would definitely buy this.

A Smooth & Easy Everyday Red
I recently tried Hardys VR Merlot and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a smooth, easy-drinking red with soft tannins and ripe fruit flavors. It’s not overly complex, but for the price, it’s a solid choice for an everyday wine. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly Merlot that’s soft and approachable, this one is worth a try!
