Archive: Argentina: Merlot

Andeluna Cellars 2007 Merlot Tupungato ($10). Nice value on this Argentina Merlot — savory smoke, earth and spices accent supple red berry fruit. Surprisingly substantial. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area. (2010-03-06)

San Telmo 2003 Merlot Mendoza ($7). Really liked this wine — heck of a deal! A great pizza wine, with loads of acidity. Quite Chianti-like, actually. A deep spicy, earthy nose introduces light- to medium-bodied red berry and mineral flavors, with sky high acidity. Delish! Ready to drink right this second. (Bargain Wine 04/05)
