Medium intensity ruby color that you can see through. The nose is red cherries all the way with some subtle spice and tobacco accents. The palate is dry, medium+ acidity, plenty of freshness. Medium, though fine grained, tannin structure. The flavor intensity is medium to medium+ with that cherry, spice and tobacco with an underlying beam of barely there funk. Fun and interesting wine. Excellent deal at $20. The Patagonian cool climate really comes through with bright red fruit and a fresh palate. @Eric Asimov nailed it!

What merlot should always be. Ripe cherries, blackberries, and plum with roasted mushrooms, wet forest floor, tobacco, and beautiful acid and tannins.

Great value, cherries, dust, and a little funk. Day 2 was going more fruit forward. Don't know much about merlot, but I would definitely get this again! Excellent bottle
