Los Robles was recently nominated as the 'Best Chilean Winery' and this Single Varietal wine shows why. 100% Carmenere and harvested by hand, once in the winery this wine stays four to six months in American oak barrels before release.

Echeverria Merlot Curico Valley Chile from Chile, Curico by Vina Echeverria Soft & Supple Reds (24 x 37.5 cl)

Our Merlot features jammy black cherry and blackberry aromas with layers of coffee bean, toast and vanilla. The ripe, almost chalky tannins give the wine good weight on the palate and a lush texture. Blackberry, blueberry and red pepper flavours are richly complemented by toast, coffee and just a hint of dark chocolate. The berry fruit lingers on the palate to create a smooth, creamy finish. This full-bodied, intensely fruity Merlot is ideal for early drinking, and it should continue to gain complexity for another five years. (6 x 75 cl)
