There's no way anyone can call anyone's opinion/preference that! That's also the reason for my 'generalisation alert'! And I've deleted my other correction - as Hobbit had already posted it!
Though I was remiss not mentioning Carmenere (which I, unlike you, at least spell correctly!). It wasn't as freely available in my 'Chilean' period (before 'finding' Argentinian Malbec)!

If you thought you were drinking Chilean Merlot, you were probably drinking Carmenere.There's no way anyone can call anyone's opinion/preference that! That's also the reason for my 'generalisation alert'! And I've deleted my other correction - as Hobbit had already posted it!

It was mistaken by the growers, buyers etc…and apparently, by an expert such as yourself.

1. I'm no expert.
2. I (perhaps foolishly?) go by what's on the label!
But (given my correction in bold), I'd agree.

Remember the bold bit, it’ll be useful on most threads ?

It's surely 'a given' - for (nearly) all of us!
Shouldn't stop anyone having an opinion though!

We went to a nice restaurant recently and enjoyed a nice Malbec, so I took a photo of the wine list so I could order some.
Chemin De La Pinede Merlot
Chemin de la Pinède: Languedoc-Roussillon, France (leaandsandeman.co.uk)
£9.50 a bottle
Pretty easy-going with a bit of depth to it.

Another option for a nice smooth red would be rioja, nice and oaky, mellow, but with a bit more body than a pinot or chianti
Someone mention Rioja? There’s some poor ones but there’s also some stunning ones.

Just been given a couple of bottles by a client, and whilst they aren't up to whilst I'll be drinking this Christmas, I'll certainly enjoy them at some point.
To the OP, I would recommend going for a supermarket's own label, especially Sainsbury's Taste the Difference range. If you can get them when reduced, or part of an offer, they are well worth buying/drinking.

I was looking at the Sainsbury's site today after seeing some recommendations on Decanter and it's buy 6 get 25% off too.

There are indeed!
Though, with a significantly different climate and dining culture, there can be a considerable 'movement' between categories, especially if 'adequate/good' ones are included and 'value for price/quality' (always difficult) is considered.
Morrisons do some cracking deals on wine, love a glass or two of red, did I say glass, I meant bottle ??
