About

Rating:

85

This Merlot feels a little synthetic and bitter. Though it leads with primary red fruits like cherries and strawberries, along with potpourri and chocolatey oak-derived notes, the palate is flabby and on the sour side. Spiced wood nuances add structure and the finish is herbal. ---CHRISTINA PICKARD

Product Description:

"Dark bright ruby in colour. An inviting almost silky nose is marked by prominent fruit aromas of plum, dark cherry and raspberry which float above and around more subtle glimpses of vanilla bean and clove and nutmeg spice. In the mouth that same juicy primary fruit and vanilla bean character shows again this time alongside flavours of mocha and a faint graphite core. All of this is enveloped and pinned in just enough by some present but soft tannins ensuring some genuine balance and providing the wine with an almost velvet mouthfeel." -Winery
