I was looking forward to tasting this 8-year-old Merlot from Et Cetera, and while it didn't disappoint, I expected a bit more. It's good and nice, but too straightforward—there's no beauty in this kind of simplicity. Typical notes, powerful body—it's just a great companion for food.
Et Cetera
A young family-owned winery from Ștefan Vodă, Moldova. Alexandru Luchianov purchased the land in 2002 and started to grow vines in 2003. The first harvest and bottling were rewarded in a local competition in 2005. In 2006 his brother Igor joined this project.
On 24.2 ha, they cultivate Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Fetească Neagră, Saperavi, Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Marselan, Albarosa, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.
