Finca Roja & Calafate Twins from Añelo,Neuquen
Both Merlot same vineyard but different owners.
Finca Roja Reserva Merlot 2005 and Calafate ,Reserva Merlot 2006 (both UDS 8-9).
Very few Argentina´s Merlot reach this deep in the grape´s beauty.
Sustained brilliant red with a potent nose of black rose,quince and
red berry and rosehip jam.
The palate touches the wine from the biggining through middle and to end with a clear smoke and dark chocolate deeper. The 5 year old some oxidation and the 4 y/o more vivid. The youngest improved after two days opened (probably telling some slot to evolve).
I´d say 88 pts for Finca Roja ,and 89 pts for Calafate with an outstanding value for the sale.
A good value and one of the best merlot from Argentina thinking of everyday wine.
