Ventisquero 2008 Queulat Gran Reserva Merlot (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Queulat Gran Reserva
Variety: Merlot Maipo Valley
Winery: Ventisquero /

Brambly red-fruit aromas of currants and pie cherry are on the sharp side, while the palate is clacky and tannic, with crisp red-plum, herb and wayward oak flavors. Finishes full and rugged, with toasty heat and an herbal aftertaste. Not a bad wine but it’s fairly typical for Chilean Merlot.
