Malma Merlot 2010, a simple and straight Patagonian at supergentle value


Malma Merlot 2010, By Bodega NQN, USD 6

A merlot from San Patricio Vallley, Neuquen Province,North Patagonia
Rather simple but straight merlot with tipicity for both land and grape variety. Good red cherries, boysenberrires and a bit of toast on a nice acidity and alcohol all kept in balance. A lightweight merlot and red wine overall. I´d say 85-86 points for a red I feel even at 6-8 bucks level. I found it nicer at 20-22 celsius (68 to 71 F)than coller It´s lighter and less solid than malbec from the same winery.
