Electio Merlot 2019 750ml
Pour this and your shoulders drop. It's all ripe blackberry and dark plum, soft and round, with just enough grip to feel grown-up. A red that doesn't ask anything of you. Crack it on a Friday with the grill going, or a quiet Tuesday when you just want something good in the glass. We'll get it to your door fast, any hour.
First sniff is plump dark fruit, blackberry and stewed plum, with a faint warm note of oak sitting behind it like cocoa or cedar. On the palate it's smooth and fleshy, the fruit doing most of the talking. The tannins are gentle, so it doesn't dry your mouth out or fight you. A clean line of acidity keeps it fresh, and it finishes ripe and a little indulgent. Comfortable, not complicated.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes out of Moldova, a tiny country wedged between Romania and Ukraine that has been making wine for thousands of years and barely shouts about it. Electio is the premium line from Kvint, a long-established producer tied to the Cricova region near the capital Chisinau, famous for its vast limestone wine galleries dug deep underground. Merlot loves the continental climate there, ripening into the soft, generous reds Moldova quietly does very well.
