2008 Pulenta Estate Merlot (Mendoza)

Not recipe book Merlot, but carefully grown and even more gently shepherded through fermentation and aging. A Merlot for those dreadful old cynics like me who don`t think they like Merlot and a million miles away from Yellow Tail or Gallo Merlots. Dark plummy fruit and silky tannins. (CW 18/02/13)

Something different: Merlot with attitude - a nice change from a plummy, easy going, but maybe a little safe, new world Merlot. Plummy, baked fruit - but it has an edge, thanks to some structured tannins, which give it a little spice.
