Weinert Merlot 2011

This Merlot, seemingly at its peak, unfurls an enticing bouquet dominated by prunes, dark fruit jam, and balsamic nuances, with leather, wood, and subtle hints of vanilla and smoke. It presents a near full-bodied experience, underpinned by mature, well-integrated tannins and medium acidity. Offering good value for its quality, it pairs best with meat dishes, complementing their flavours.

The winemaking process involves aging the wine in French oak casks ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 liters. During this period, Weber carefully selects casks to create a terroir blend of Merlot from various vineyards within Luján de Cuyo. An example of this process can be seen in a batch bottled in October 2019, which underwent eight years of oak aging. The combination of the unique terroir, extended aging practices, and the expertise of its winemakers positions Weinert as a noteworthy entity in the world of wine.

I keep repeating myself, but Weinert offers great value. Complex and mature Merlot, made in the old world style. Balsamic notes, dark berries jam, ripe decaying plum, leather, and wood. This bottle showed more energy. Full body, well balanced, round and delicious.

Incredible value even after price adjustments. Not a simple bouquet: berries jam, ripe plum, bark, balsamic notes, and leather. Seems like it's getting close to its peak. Well-balanced, silky, mature, and deep. Medium-bodied and relatively fresh. Neat.
