The 2009 Merlot Reserva is a soft, easy-going, friendly red that displays good grip and concentration, lacking only complexity. It is a very good value that will deliver pleasure over the next 2-3 years. Importer: T. Edward Wines, New York, NY; www.tedwardwines.com

Dusty cherry aromas are slightly spiky and feature some tomato, while the palate is solid, a touch sharp and prickly, but good overall. Snappy raspberry is the one and only flavor, while the finish offers heat and some mild oak. Average to good, and fully drinkable.——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 85

Appealing bargain-priced Merlot. Aromas of brick dust, black cherry, plum and herbs settle into a solid whole, while the palate is flush with some tang and pulse. Flavors of plum and berry fruit are nice, and the there’s a controlled herbal backdrop that doesn’t drag things down.——M.S.(3/1/2010)—— 86

A demanding, pushy wine with few rewards. The nose is aggressive with aromas of shoe polish, coffee and gamy fruit, and the palate turns jumpy and more acidic as it opens. Rough and tumble, yet concentrated. Imported by Orvino Imports.——M.S.(5/1/2008)—— 82
