Here is a rich, satisfying red wine with some complexity and structure. It sports an excellent price as well. This is one to try, and is worth buying more than one.
Wine: 2018 Chloe Merlot San Lucas Vineyard
Winery Location: Livermore CA
Tasted By: Neil & Cheri Date: June 2021
Tasting Notes: the grapes for this come from the San Lucas Vineyard in Monterey County. The wine is a medium dark, ruby color. The nose has red plum, herbs, tobacco notes as well as some berry fruit hiding underneath. This is a complex nose, and it caries to the palate. The juice is full bodied, and the finish is long and satisfying. Mild tannins make for a smooth sipper. This is good. Very good.
Price Point – $13
Would We Buy It? – Absolutely. This would make a great house wine, and is a steal at $13. We’ve generally been impressed with the price to quality ratio of Chloe wines, and this is no exception. Highly recommended.
Sometime $13 really goes a long way.
A votre santé!
