Tasting Notes

The grapes for this delicious Merlot are grown in the Central Valley of Chile. This Merlot is truly a stunning value. Aged four months in oak, this wine is soft, rich and concentrated with juicy ripe plum and blackberry fruits. It has intense red color with some violet tones. It's aromas remind of cherries and jam, and the herbal tones match very well with the vanilla and toasted notes of oak. The texture is a velvety, mouth-filling delight. The medium-length finish is juicy and exhibits soft tannins.
