2010 Merlot
BEST BUY, 85 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine September 2011
2008 Merlot
88 Points, The Midwest Wine Connection December 2010,
"An exception offering from Chile. Well-pronounced fruits. A good wine that won't overpower food."

This medium-bodied Merlot has fresh fruit aromas of strawberries and raspberries with a subtle note of vanilla and toasted oak. This is an excellent everyday value for Chilean wine fans.
Pairs well with pasta, pizza or simply on its own.
100% Merlot
The grapes are 100% estate grown from the Bisquertt vineyards of Las Garzas, Chomedahue, Lihueimo, Rinconada, Casas Viejas, El Rulo, and Trinidad. Each vineyard has their own distinctive micro-climate contributing subtle nuances and complexity. The Colchagua Valley is heavily influenced by its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, resulting in cool nights and dry sunny days creating the optimal growing conditions. The soils are alluvial with excellent drainage. The wine is stainless steel fermented then cold stabilized and filtered before bottling.
