Tasting - "Santa Ema, Select Terroir, Merlot"

Name: Santa Ema, Select Terroir
Variety: Merlot
Region: Santa Ema
Country: Chile
Year: 2013
Price: $13
Winery Review:Our Merlot is made with selected grapes from the Cachapoal Valley. Intensely red in color with exceptionally intense aromas that will recall black fruits, spices, and a bit of tobacco.  The Palate is silky and pleasing with good balance and a persistent finish.  

My review:  It smelled rather heavy.  I could taste the tobacco, and it left a dry taste in my mouth.  I was not getting any spices, but I did taste some fruit.  I could not decide on what the fruit tasted like to me.

I tasted this on its own, it tasted good even when not paired with food.
