DRINK OF THE WEEK
16th September 2024
Finest Colchagua Merlot
Tesco £8.50
Drinker Rating 89
Sometimes the wine we need isn't a stunner, sometimes we need a good old reliable workhorse of a wine, a decent easygoing Wednesday night drop.
Well this wine from the Finest range at Tesco is just that. Good old merlot - wrongly derided, the grape provides easy drinking, fruit driven reds with silky tannins and it's so well priced it's all we need to do the job.
Big fruit character combines with big alcohol (14.5%) lovely tannic structure and a progression of flavour from forward black fruit into bitter chocolate and coffee.
Top work Tesco.
Cheers!
