This Tali, Wild Swan Merlot from Chile is produced by I’ve been out that is a champion wildlife preservation and it is under £8 bottle from the co-op in the UK. It’s a pretty typical supermarket Merlot lots of fruit, plum, cherry and redcurrant with notes of blackberry and minerals. You can taste the heat of the Central Valley in the fruit. Low to medium tannins and reasonably dry. It’s easy drinking and cheap which sometimes what you need.
Yali, Wild Swan, Merlot, 2018, Chile
A bronze medal winner at the IWSC 2015. I do have a problem with this, why?
Bronza is stingy, silver for sure. Made from Cab Sav the colour is truly amazing, copper in colour, richer and deeper in colour than most roses. There’s tannins, acidity and dryness which are very pleasant and very good balance.
Redcurrant is the dominate flavour followed by a sour cherry undertone with a bit of strawberry, raspberry and minerality.
Fresh and flavourism is a good way to describe this wine. For me this is a very good rose wine. For under £10 a bottle its very good value.
