Tasting Notes

There were moves against this Merlot – some people would happily rip this grand Dame out by the roots and plant more Shiraz. If I had only ever tasted the big company Merlots I might have been there with a shovel myself, but this is something different. Every reason to plant and care for Merlot is right here in this glass and the argument to do so is compelling.Gamey, driven lift. Menthol fresh denim. A plunge pool of red fruits, molasses, violets, and blueberry. Bombastic and showy but underpinned with sweet tobacco, and earthy notes. The plush palate blooms big and succulent leading to a finish both bright and crunchy.
