Decided to look for something from South America for my latest post. Panilonco blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Malbec. Hey, I like Merlot; love Malbec; Chile seems like a beautiful place; and at $3.99 what could go wrong? Label says smooth and intensely fruity. If I appreciate anything, it is truth in advertising. And this wine lives up to the label. Nice and fruity with cherry and blackberry flavors. Smooth and easy drinking, with little tannins and acidity. Little bit of spice and vanilla, but nothing overpowering. And the unusual blend of these two varietals just gives it a little bit of character. Let's be honest, it's $3.99, so don't expect anything here that will blow your socks off. But you can do a lot worse at this price point. If you get this wine, finish the bottle off - don't let it sit around. This wine pretty much lost any substane on day number two. VERDICT: Get it - just don't think too hard and enjoy.
