A plush Merlot, with a pleasant core of plum flavors and a good herbal edge. Finishes on a slightly sweet note. Drink now through 1999.??–KM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Central Valley Select to Add

This wine reveals an herbal and cherry-scented nose, soft, undistinguished, but medium-bodied flavors, and decent fruit. Readers could easily find worse Merlots for considerably more money. (Reviewed because it is one of "America's Best Selling Wines" - according to retailers and/or the trade magazine Impact. )Importer: Banfi Vintners,
