This re-introduction of the 'Mad Monkey' Merlot sports a new winemaker, Hernan de la Barra. He's a man on a mission: to put the wines from great Chilean regions in your glass and on the map. Merlot is one of his favourite grapes and Merlot is very good at one thing in particular - flesh. This wine is ripe and fruitful and unpretentious, but it also comes with an amount of flesh that stops just before becoming indecent. It's a lovely wine on its own or with food.
