A delicious Chilean Merlot that shows baker’s chocolate, vibrant vanilla, blackberry, cherry and leafy herbs on the nose. The palate is bone dry with a touch oak char showing and is well integrated with good tannic grip and a long finish. It’s a very attractive, food friendly wine that will pair well with a salt and herb encrusted rib roast. Another value leader from South America!
