Panilonco Reserve Merlot Malbec

This wine has a medium-dark ruby color. The first thing I notice is the oak. It seems very oaky, despite only six months in wood. The nose offers a smokey note, which I always like to find. There are aromas of ripe cherries, berries and plums. Those fruits also appear on the palate, where oak again dominates. The tannins are firm, but not overpowering. The mouthfeel is rich and full. I had mine with a brisket sandwich and it paired very well.

Very thin. Too much Alcohol flavor. Couldn't finish bottle.

As 4 dollar wine goes, what's not to love about it? Easy to drink, enjoyable!

A bit of a black sheep blend especially coming from Chilé, but I like it! Two full bodied red grape come together. $13 / 89pts.

berries, red fruits, spices, smokiness. made a review video but forgot to post description. needed to open up, was harsh at first but wound up opening up nicely

I really enjoyed this. Smooth with a hint of fruity and not too heavy.

Max and I liked it but it was a no for Katherine

Great wine with us cooking out on a nice fall evening. Good nose. Hints of smoke and dark berries.

It's fine.. definitely drinkable but not the magic that both merlots and Malbecs usually offer

Excellent Malbec/Merlot bland. Great Tannin level-paired with a beef Wellington and it was exceptional. Would pay much more for this wine.
