This is a Merlot red blend called Mars and Venus. It is from Chile. This was from the year 2011. Its price is around $9 average in the United States. This wine would not be recommended for an entry level wine drinker. It is a very tannic wine that has very bold flavor. It has cedar flavoring which also remains in the nose. The nose also has hints of fruitiness, but it really overpowered by the woodiness. It has a smooth finish. I had this particular wine with manicotti. It was very nice with this particular pasta dish. The review for this wine is that it is a great bargain for the price. You get a rich full bodied wine that is full of fruit and woody notes. I agree that this is a very classical tasting wine that really pairs nicely with pastas.
