Frontera Merlot 2012 90 Points


Frontera Merlot

Completing my round of Frontera wine tasting, this textbook Chilean Merlot is all about juiciness, plush texture and vibrant dark red fruits such as ripe mulberries, plums and cherries, with spicy vanilla and hints of mocha note, everything you will expect for a perfect glass of Merlot, available at Checkers for R 40/bottle, a bargain for the quality.

Dry with dash residual sugar, fresh and bright with a perfect alcohol of 12% abv, vibrant, super table friendly, gulp it with your braai or pan fried steak or pasta in tomato sauce, this wine way over delivers on it's price point, drink now until 2015+

85% Merlot & 15% Carmenere
