Here in Finland, it is famous for being an organic (luomu) grower. Previously I have not been totally convinced by their icon wine called <em><strong>Coyam<\/strong><\/em>. It is a good wine but nothing extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><em><strong>Adobe<\/strong><\/em> is their mid-range brand. Wines that are available here around 10\u20ac. They are in the category \u00ab\u00a0Reserva\u00a0\u00bb, meaning that they aged a bit or a lot in oak barrels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">This <em><strong>Adobe Red<\/strong><\/em> is very surprising when you consider the blend. Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre are commonly blended in Languedoc or in the Rh\u00f4ne Valley, but never with Merlot, which is a grape from south-western France. I honestly must say that I doubted the result. Merlot is a common \u00ab\u00a0blend partner\u00a0\u00bb because it has a great ability to smoother the edge of more powerful grapes. For instance, it is known for its quality, when blended with Cabernet Sauvignon like in Bordeaux or with Malbec, like in Cahors. Both Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec being grapes with very powerful structure in terms of tannins and mouthfeel. Merlot has then the effect of bringing out a more soft and expressive fruit while making the tannins less harsh. But when it comes to Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre, these are two grapes not very full of tannins with aromas like spices, aromatic herbs, pepper, game&#8230; fruit is only secondary. As a result, blending all of them will make Syrah and Mouv\u00e8dre lose most of their personality and thus most of their interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">This is no surprise in the glass. The wine is very plain. True, the oak aging is very well handled with no excess, but the aromatics are just not interesting. In the palate, the structure is ok, a little bit light, but again it does not work in term of taste. This is extremely boring. I would not advise this wine, even if it is technically well made.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><strong>Wineops&rsquo; rating:<span style=\"color:#ff6600;\"> 57\/100<\/span> ; 0 0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><em><strong>Link to Alko&rsquo;s page: <a href=\"http:\/\/alko.fi\/tuotteet\/fi\/489107\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emiliana is a well known producer of Chile, located in the Central Valley.
