The Collective Review
Geoff Merrill is based in McLaren Vale, but also has an established vineyard in Coonawarra known as Graymoor which Geoff taps into for Cabernet Sauvignon.
Normally the fruit from this vineyard gets blended in with McLaren Vale grapes, but in 2014 Geoff was so happy it that he made a single vineyard release - a superb, full-flavoured Cabernet.
After extended oak and bottle maturation, this firm, classically proportioned Coonawarra red is looking absolutely A1. It's a dense, powerful and structured ripe red that is only just starting to soften.
Anyone who loves full-bodied reds built for ageing will appreciate the lines here.
A magnificent rendition of the variety; the bouquet shows blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco and subtle spice characters on the nose, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that’s flavoursome and persistent. It’s refined and sumptuous at the same time, finishing impressively long and delicious. 5 stars. Read more

An intense and powerful wine. Red cassis fruits, dried herbs and complexity from ageing. Great acidity and oak treatment in typical Geoff Merrill style.
