Concha y Toro, Chile (South America) Merlot 2008

Apr 6, 2010

By Gerald D. Boyd

Aged in American oak and stainless steel tanks, this deep purple hued Merlot shows up-front berry and herbal aromas with an earthy back note.  The soft fruity flavors are accented with hints of smoked meat and supported by firm tannins. Stylized and distinctly different from a California Merlot, it is finished with 13% alcohol.
