Tuscany, Italy
I don't care what Sideways said, I love Merlot. Right Bank at heart. And it's done well in Tuscany too (hello, Masseto). Petrolo's top wine Galatrona from 2012 is a ripe Merlot. Mocha, cherries and spice come together deliciously. We enjoyed this wine at a terrific Japanese steakhouse in Williamsburg called Salt + Charcoal. Fatty, salty, juicy red meat with a big Merlot... kampai! indeed.

Tastes inky and has a sharp bite at finish. Very ripe and fruity. Missing more complexity and depth.

Not showing a Lot right now. Tight on the palate, with hopefully more structure Coming with age. Medium finish with dry tannins
