The Morandé Pionero Merlot Reserva is made from grapes grown in Chile's Maule Valley wine region. Partially aged in oak for six months this Merlot displays a wonderful aroma of black fruits, fresh herbs and cinnamon spice. Medium-bodied, the palate is fresh and juicy with notes of vanilla, cloves, and chocolate that lead into a long finish with well balanced fine tannins.[#intro]Great value Merlot perfect with Italian dishes, lean red meats, white meats and poultry...[/intro]
