This little guy doesn’t have a guilty bone in his body. Neither should you. Here is this week’s $15 or less offering.
No-Guilt Wednesday is not about compromising on quality. It’s all about drinking good wine that does not break the bank, eating good food and of course, it’s about sharing with the ones you love.
This week we head back to South America. Santa Ema seems to deliver good everyday value. Previously we reviewed the Santa Ema Chardonnay. https://sybaritesauvage.com/2011/06/21/no-guilt-wednesday-wine-santa-ema-reserve-chardonnay-2008/
Santa Ema Merlot 2008 ($9). A touch of toasty oak and earth on the nose serves as the calling card for this new world merlot. Yet, it’s not all about fruit. We get black olive, vanilla notes, acidity provides structure. Did someone say rack of lamb? Maybe I’m just hearing voices… Rated **1/2
