Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: For their Legado series, De Martino’s winemakers focus on highlighting the natural qualities of each grape variety and encouraging the wine to express a keen sense of place. Grapes for this Merlot are grown in the alluvial soils of the Santa Inés Vineyards in the picturesque Maipo Valley. With lush black cherry and vanilla notes and deliciously smooth tannins. My note: Incredible depth and concentration. Aromas of black fruit and a velvet texture. Food matches: roast beef burritos, smoked cheeses.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
