Yup! I keep right on sipping the fruit of the vine! 
And as a result, here’s my take on another Merlot – this one from Chile.
Vineyard: Frontera (Concha Y Toro)
Wine: Merlot
Vintage: 2009
Appellation: Rapel Valley – Chile
Price: $7.99
Notes: Primarily plum aromas turn to jammy blackberry flavors with hints of cherry and toasty spice. It’s a simple medium-bodied red that is straightforward and enjoyable. Modest tannins bring a touch of chlorophyll (at times I thought even eucalyptus) in the finish.
Important: I am not a professional sommelier or wine connoissuer. I have taste buds, however, and know what I like. Please do not consider my thoughts to be an endorsement or diminution of any particular wine. You should always judge for yourself as likes, dislikes, and taste are very subjective.
