2022 Mystery Hilltops Merlot Deal No. 6436

94 POINTS

Russ Gallagher - Vino Masters

Bright and expressive, revealing ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry layered with subtle spice, dried herbs and soft earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied with plush dark fruit flowing through the entry before soft tannins shape the wine through a smooth and balanced frame. Notes of plum, cocoa and gentle spice emerge through the mid-palate with pleasing depth. The finish is supple, rounded and highly drinkable. A smooth and approachable Merlot delivering generous fruit, balance and easy appeal.”

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Delightfully ripe and immediately appealing, the wine shows sweet plum, liquorice, cinnamon, and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a silky-smooth palate with succulent fruit flavours, a rounded texture, and supple tannins, making for excellent drinking.
