After tasting next to other organic/low intervention wines, the structure and finesse of this wine becomes more evident. Smooth red and dark fruit on the palate with good but no overwhelming acidity. Drinks like a wine from a colder climate. — 20 days ago

Really nice light balance. Savoury but not overly so — 3 months ago

Merlot is a thin-skinned grape and typically tends to ripen faster than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Bold but smooth and dry

« Merlot is a staple of the wine producing regions of South America. Alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, the bold, spicy grape contributes to Chile's reputation for creating great, affordable wine.

Chilean Merlot tends to be full-bodied yet gentle, relatively low in alcohol yet with a bracing acidity, and it often has a divisive “green” characteristic to it.

Chilean Merlot can stand up to strong flavors fairly well, so pair with a big red-sauce Italian meal, some meatballs, a bit of roasted turkey or even a good pizza. » — 2 years ago

A beautiful combination of red fruits, earth & stones. However what made this wine complete was its lively acidity . A textbook food wine. An excellent accompaniment to Peking Duck. — a month ago

Large format, 15 years old…showing a little signs of age, but still spritely enough. A few years ago, this would’ve been in its prime — 6 months ago

The 2022 Sottobanco, a varietal Procanico, displays dried flower, crushed rocks, underbrush and apricot aromas. Textural and weighty, it’s lifted by zesty acidity and mineral tones. An ambrosia-like wave of nectarine and ripe melon follows. The 2022 finishes spicy and with candied ginger hints. $24.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2023) — 3 years ago
