Emiliana Natura Merlot

Yes, it’s another merlot review.  This one comes from the Rapel Valley region in Chile and it’s made with organically grown grapes. Emiliana is focused on biodynamic and organic agriculture in their vineyards, embracing a philosophy that these practices result in healthier vines—which in turn, they say, produces better wines.  Farming organically doesn’t just mean […]

The nose is loaded with sweet red fruit aromas, like strawberry, raspberry and cherry.  It also shows plenty of vanilla.  The palate […]
