Wine Reviewed
Kleine Draken Merlot W. O. Paarl 2011 13.5 % alcohol about $15.
In the absence of marketing materials we’ll start by quoting the back label. “A fruity lightly wooded wine made in an easy drinking style. This wine is soft on the palate with a long finish. Will complement meat dishes or enjoy on its own.” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was sweet and plummy with low acidity and low tannins. Wasabi-less Japanese rice crackers rendered the liquid a bit stronger. A boxed Baked Ziti Siciliano liberally doused with Parmesan Cheese rendered the kid from Paarl quite sweet but there wasn’t much tannins or acidity.
