Casa Rivas Merlot Reserva 1999
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileBig intense, cassis, pepper nose featuring olives, crushed herbs and the famous garrigue scent of Provence. Intense herbal characters that remind us more of malbec. Solid if you are a fan of the fruity but herbaceous style of merlot. Another year in bottle wouldn't hurt.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $19.95 | 750ml |
