Merlot
| Description: | Review Publication: Wine Spectator Weekly Wine: Marques de Casa Concha 2001 Merlot Date: December 2003 Country: United States Review: 90 points. Top 100 wine of 2003 Comments: Smoky and ripe, with black currant and plum flavors, hints of herbs, cocoa and toast, and a fleshy, mouthfilling finish. Feels like it has the stuffing to cellar a bit too. This label is really strong these days. Drink now through 2005. Technical notes Variety: Merlot. Origin: Peumo Vineyard. Peumo, Rapel Valley. Soil: The former terraces of the Cachapoal River are deep alluvial clay loam. The clays provide great water retention that contributes to good grape ripening. Climate: Subhumid Mediterranean. Hot days give way to temeperate nights. The nearby Cachapoal River abates summer temperatures at night, which helps in the development of this variety's softer tannins. Harvest: Hand picked. April 26 - May 8, 2001. Aging: 16 months in french oak barrels(33% in new & 67% in two year old barrels). Food pairing Enjoy with red and white meats, pasta, and cheese.

The dark colour sets thetone for the flavours that are as black as night: dark cherry pits, dark berries, a lasting smoky yet rich black-tar. Though tannic now, this wine should evolve. Theres already some complexity beginning to develop out of its firm, quiet supple core. |
