AR$8 (US$3)

Appearance

Bright scarlet red with violet hues.

Nose

Raspberries, boysenberries, plums, some floral notes of violets. Hints of vanilla and some yeasty aromas.

Palate

Light-medium body. Raspberries and red plums, with some spicy cigar box complexities. Somewhat astringent tannins, fresh and crisp acidity almost bordering on tart, but the overall balance is reasonably pleasant.

Overall

It's a non-vintage blend, and certainly young-tasting. That said, it's by no means "rough red" - very drinkable, the Merlot ensures plenty of round fruit in the mid-palate, and it's good value at around 8 pesos.
