Cono Sur, Central Valley (Chile) Merlot 2008

Oct 13, 2009

By Michael Franz

 I think it is safe to say that $10 Merlot is currently one of the most mistrusted options in the entire world of wine, but this is a bottling that offers pure flavors and very good quality for the money.  You won’t find a lot of nuanced complexity, but there’s plenty of honest plum and black cherry fruit along with a subtle leafy edge.
