Previously, the experience of Merlot from Sambra was impressive, so bought couple more Merlots from Chile to try further.
This one is intriguing. It is marketed as one of the most popular Chile wine in United State... Urrrrr. ... firstly, the price is --- cheap. It is not only cheap but scarily cheap.. The 750ml is like 4 bucks... and 1.5L is only like 6 in costco!!... This means it is even just half price of most oridinary cheap wine (below $10 wines). Most cheap wines in US are priced between $6 to $10 and that is a range made me comfortable range!!! This is of course more a psychological factor only. There is no guarantee that wine labeled at $10 will be always better than $6, yes... But price at less than $4 !!!!!
Turned out it is NOT bad... It is slighly lighter in color. a little bit fruity but probably the least among the Chile Merlot we tried and light in aroma, tanning, acid, everything! This means it could be a crowd pleaser. We think it is a wine that won't go wrong, since it does not have any strong characters. If at a party with a large number of quests and don't know their taste or favor (or cannot recognize a consistent one), you probably can put out this and be ease. And it is SO CHEAP that you probably have nothing to lose.
My comprehension maybe funny.. but I do see it has the right formula to because "popular" in US ... hahaha....
