Merlot, Red Blend
Description
A soft and serious Merlot, a wine of great tipicity and remarkable fruit expression. This wine?s plum-red coloring is dark and intense. In nose, concentrated notes of black fruit and soft hints of sweet toasted oak. The palate surprises with its excellent structure, balanced acidity, fruity intensity and pleasantly ripe tannins. Undoubtedly to be drunk young.
