A merlot from Rio Negro Valley, General Roca, Rio Negro Province.
A memorable Merlot at a premium value, although a personal bias is absolutelly acting here. All because I love Patagonian Merlot. Quite perfumed and aromatic with ripe red cherrirs and red deep rose a beautiful edge malbec doesn´t bring in anyway.
Sweet and sour with not overt alcohol. A red to sip over and over again. Round chocolate and toast. A 90 point red that might be best 4 to 6 years old.
A great Argentina and Rio Negro Valley Value even though the name from Mapuche culture is not quite native and some of us don´t take well the exterminaton of native Tehuelche culture by the mapuches.
