Verum 2007 Patagonia Merlot (Río Negro Valley)

Country: Argentina / Patagonia
Variety: Merlot Other
Winery: Verum / Río Negro Valley

Aromas of brick dust, sweet spice, rubber and leather are good if you’re not seeking saturated berry fruit, while the palate is starchy and grabby, with flavors of stewed berry, tomato, leather and earth. Raspberry is detectable on the thin finish, but so is a soupy flavor. Decent wine with some faults.
