Vina tarapaca Gran reserva merlot 2021

Vina Tarapaca brings us this dry red wine from Chile, made with Merlot from the 2021 vintage. About the grape — Merlot is a widely grown red grape valued for its soft, supple texture and approachable plum and black-cherry fruit, making it one of the most easy-drinking reds. Chile is winemaking heaven — a long ribbon of vineyards tucked between the Andes and the Pacific, giving famously clean, fruit-filled, easy-to-love wines. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. Pour it with weeknight pasta, roast chicken or a cheese plate and you're golden. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
