Tasting - "Omo Ze Bel Merlot"

NameOmo Ze Bel Merlot
Variety: Merlot
Region: Scicilia

Country: Italy
Year: N/A
Price: $6.95


Winery Review: "
This bright, soft Merlot comes from a hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily. It has hints of red cherries and freshly cut hay.  Exceptional value."
The Vintage Cellar


My Review: This wine was NOT it. The nose was very interesting, with a chemical-like aroma, kind-of like chlorine. It reminded me of being at a public pool with too much chlorine used in the water.  The taste was not good, with a dirt-like aspect, and all sorts of chemicals.The fruity aspects of the wine were very overpowered by the dirt and earth flavors.  This is not a good wine and would not buy a bottle or drink again.
