Merelo
Coastal Slopes Single Vineyard Merlot
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Central Valley, Chile
It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Here's one from Chile.
Deep purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with black plums, black currants, light oak, vanilla, light vegetables, earth, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, light oak, cloves, chocolates, tobacco, spices, coffee and black pepper.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a nice and easy drinking Merlot from Chile. A nice everyday wine.
Fruit forward and good right out of the bottle. After 90 minutes of airtime, it gets earthier and spicier.
This Single Vineyard Merlot is still young, but already approachable. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Good by itself or with food. A good party wine too. I had it all by itself, by the lake.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$18.

Great price point for a very robust wine. I get a little eucalyptus, cocoa nibs, and juicy dark cherries.
