Safras avaliadas

• 201487 pts

  Likably round and approachable, this medium-bodied red is mellow and fruity, showing red cherry fruit spiked with vanilla bean. It finishes on charred oak.

• 201388 pts

  A big, soft and expressive wine, this will appeal to a wide range of palates with its fair price and easygoing tannins and integrated oak. Between the juicy blackberry and blueberry, hits of espresso take it to more luxurious places.

• 201283 pts

  Meager and slightly thin, this offers red fruit, herbal cedar and tobacco, though the flavors are subtle and hard to make out.

• 201085 pts

  This is soft and simple, but there's some charm to the black cherry, blueberry and oak flavors. The bite of tannins on this everyday Merlot suggests pairing with rich beef or lamb dishes.

• 200985 pts

  Shows the soft, supple side of Merlot, with smooth tannins framing earthy flavors of sour-cherry candy, herbs and cedar. Ready to drink now.

• 200882 pts

  The mouthfeel on this Merlot is all wrong. It's harsh and jagged in tannins, and raspingly dry. And the fruit is lacking. A real disappointment.

• 200583 pts

  Good structure on this dry table wine, with firm tannins and cleansing acidity. But there's not a whole lot of flavor, with watered-down notes of blackberries.

• 200488 pts

  A few years in the bottle have nicely mellowed this wine, giving it a soft, smooth mouthfeel. The flavors are of cherries, red and black, perfectly ripe, seasoned with cassis and smoky new oak. Dry and elegant, this Merlot should hold well for five years.
