This is a simple Merlot from Chile. Earthy on the nose and fruity on the palate. Interesting enough, spicy and easy drinking. Not fully balanced, but maybe it will get there in a year.
Needs 30 minutes to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle.
I paired it with a burger and fries at a happy hour. Not too bad.
