Country: Chile / Maule Valley
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Valle Frio / Reserva Merlot-Carmenère-Cabernet Sauvignon
Oaky and a little spotty, with aromas of cheese, cinnamon and wood resin sitting heavily on herbal, traditional fruit. The acidity is bracing, so there’s a lemony bite to the palate along with flavors of raisin, raspberry and cherry. A fairly good blend of Merlot, Carmenère and Cabernet, but one that’s missing a few parts.
