Calina's 2007 Reserva Merlot captures the excellent potential of Merlot grown in the Maule Valley. The wine comes from our estate vineyard, El Maíten, set against the backdrop of the Andes Mountains to the east and the Coastal Mountains to the west. This wine is made from low-vigor rootstock and clone 181 which delivers intense blackberry and dark plum aromas and flavours with rounded tannins. This 2007 Merlot stands out for its vibrant fruit - blackberries, ripe plums, cherries. The tannins are ripe and round and the finish bears a stroke of smoky oak and mixed dark fruit. The cool weather of the vineyard is apparent in the wine's beautiful structure. |
