Winery Review: Tilia, the Latin name for Linden, is a traditional tree in Mendoza whose flowers are used to make a relaxing herbal tea, enjoyed after a long day's work among the vines. The choice of this historic tree to represent our wine reflects a commitment to the traditional way of life in Mendoza, where most farmers bike or walk to work and live with their families near the winery and vineyards. Tilia is sourced from sustainable farmed family vineyards in the Eastern and Southern regions of Mendoza. Tilia Merlot shows sweet Bing cherry and plum fruit aromas and flavors and finishes with ripe and smooth tannins.
My Review: The smell of this wine was very nice, with some hints of cherry and a nice lasting effect, like a finish to the smell. The taste also had hints of cherry with very nice tannins. I really liked the dryness in this wine; it was dry but then finished very smoothly and didn't dry my mouth out too much.
