Santa Rita Merlot Reserva 2006

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileBig open "Maipo nose" of bay leaves and dried herbs. Lovely open warm fruit nose with vanilla and dark cherries. On the palate there are hints of ripe, almost sweet fruit flavours followed by leafy olive, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, earthy flavours. Still a bit too lean and green on the finish for most North Americans.Tasted: 08 August 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
