Little aroma, standard merlot with some raspberry and slight vanilla flavors. Not a complex wine, some smoothness. 13.5% Alc.

Excellent 2016 Red! The perfect house merlot. Unpretentious and accessible at $3.99 on sale at Costco. It’s the new “$2 buck chuck.” Just double the price. Smooth!

Fruity, a bit of vanilla and bold but well balanced tannins. Enjoyed a lot.

Este es un Merlot joven que descubrí en este mes. Altamente expresivo en nariz, aroma a ciruela, goloso, con notas de vainilla. Otro seleccionado para despedir el 2018

Buen Merlot Californiano que con notas a Ciruelas confitadas armonizan excelentemente con nuestra típica hallaca
