Santa Ema Merlot (Chile, 2007)

Category: MerlotMike @ 10:31 pm
This wine is a Merlot from Chile that we picked up while perusing the wine isles at our local Costco.  We couldn’t resit it with a bold “90 points” baked right into the neck label.
$9 from Costco.
Two and a Half Trophies
  • Smells sweet with cloves and strong vanilla
  • Tastes much dryer than it smells
  • Blackberry and very aggressive vanilla tastes that grow stronger as the wine opens up.
  • Like a smooth talking friend who is super nice but then one day suddenly get’s on your case about what is a non-issue and will not let it go… makes you want new friends.
