Salentein Reserve Merlot 2005, a good merlot from Uco´s























Salentein Reserve Merlot 2005, By Salentein Wines, USD 18
Attractive merlot from Uco´s Valley, Mendoza.
Round and very floral from the beginning with strong red cherries and currants. Nice backbone of solid tannins. A little short aftertaste. Hints of spice and chocolate in the middle palate. A wine for 5-7 years cellar. Probably a bit weak compared to other vintages. I´d say a 89 point merlot with a good value from an Argentina´s wines perspective.
