Atos Pampa, Merlot Roble (oak) 2010, By Bodega Atos Pampa, USD 10
A merlot from high altitude (1,200 mts, 3940 ft) single small vineyard at Calamuchita Valley in Cordoba Province. The wine is simple and straight even attractive. Likeable smoky more than chocolaty from the start off. Nice red cherries and raspberries sweet and sour nicely alcoholic. Better appreciated 18-19 celsius (64-66 F) than colder. An 87 point merlot well pulled together at the premium level. Well priced too. The tannins look young and probably not fated to linger beauty more than 4 years old.
