title: Rutini 2007 Trumpeter Merlot (Mendoza)
description: Brickish in color, and seemingly thin. Aromas of baked fruit, compost, tobacco, vanilla and burnt coffee are challenging, while the palate is earthy and tastes leafy as well as sweet. On the positive side, it's neither heavy nor overdone. On the negative side, it's thin and on the fade.
variety: Merlot
designation: Trumpeter
