Tried another new Chilean red wine this week – Caliterra Reserva Merlot (2008). The description on the bottle says “full-bodied, smooth wine, bursting with rich plum and red cherry fruit, touches of gentle spice, softly firm tannins and a long finish.”
I picked this one because it is advertised as “environmentally friendly” and the company seems really big into sustainable viticulture, recently launching a series of organic wines and taking an award for Chile’s most innovative winery.
As for the taste? It was OK but not my favorite. A bit too acidic for my taste. It did pair well with pasta, but I don’t know too many merlots that don’t. Would like to check out others from this winery, but probably won’t repeat this one.
