Pasion 4, Merlot 2007, By R Joffre & Hijas Winery, USD 8
Nice merlot from mendoza. Fresh boisenberries and sweet spice like clove with hint of green
peppercorn. Frankly it doesn´t taste like a Uco´s Valley but more like a Perdriel district of Lujan de Cuyo Dpt. Great balance but a soft red with better initial palate and short end. Good value for this I´d say 85 points merlot with equilibrated typicity. Not for cellaring more than 4 years.
If it were more concentrated and maintaining the balance with oak it´ll be a 90 points merlot for 20 bucks.
