title: Finca El Portillo 2006 Estate Bottled Merlot (Uco Valley)
description: Licorice and warm blacktop make for a dark nose, yet there isn't much base to the acidic palate. There's grabby, tangy generic fruit but mostly tartness and sizzle. An edgy wine with a spot of mocha on a sharp finish.
variety: Merlot
designation: Estate Bottled
