Merino

Fanciful Name: Limestone Hill

Tasting Notes: A beautiful Chilean Chard with no malo! Aromas of orange peel, lemon and clove lead to flavors of green apple, more spice and some chalky minerality. Lots of class to this one.

Our reviewers are given a topic (varietal, drinking occasion, price) six times a year and asked to select 3-5 wines that fit that criteria for review. Wine reviews include brief tasting notes, a rating and the wine’s retail price (which can vary from store to store and market to market). Unless noted otherwise, the price reflects a 750-ml. bottle. If you’re a beverage professional with a specialty in wine and you’re interested in participating in the panel, please contact managing editor Kyle Swartz at kswartz@epgmediallc.com or 203-855-8499 x2225.
