Angélica Zapata Merlot Alta 2004
Tasting Notes

Fact Sheet

Of a red violet color with red ruby hues, the nose combines jammy red fruit and spice from La Pirámide Vineyard, with ripe black and red berry fruit flavours obtained at Nicasia and Adrianna. Slight oak hints of vanilla and spice add complexity to its wonderful fragance. On the palate, a soft sweet attack leads to a medium-bodied wine of soft, velvety tannins. Finishes long and lingering.
