Santa Ema MerlotDavid Ferrie

Santa Ema Reserve Merlot

Very dark fruit notes of plum and blackberry rush to the forefront without being overpowering. It finishes with cedar and eucalyptus and a hint of black licorice. This is a Chilean wine and, therefore, needs to have 75% of the varietal to be allowed to take the name. I firmly believe this wine is blended with Carmenere – and it is the better for it. This is a beef stew wine.
