Merlot from South Africa
Review Date : 16-Oct-2022
Deep ruby-red core, even colour throughout. The nose is full, approachable with power, displaying black and red berry, plum, smoky minerals and cedar aromas. Medium-full bodied, aromas of red berry lend the palate with plum and blackberry, unfolding cedar, smoky minerals and milk chocolate. Lively acidity lengthens the palate and lifts it with vibrancy. Supple tannin extraction and smoky minerals add structure. This vibrant, fresh Merlot with juicy fruit and a smoky, supple tannin mouthfeel. Match with summer barbeque and burgers over the next 3 years. 14% alc. 17/20 pts (85 pts) Oct 2022 RRP $16.99
