Merlot 2008

Wine Colour

On release, the wine is an inky deep red with an intense purple hue.

Wine Bouquet

Aromas of dark berry fruits and ripe plum dominate the aroma with secondary licorice and spice characters evident along with lifted cedar and vanilla from the oak maturation.

Wine Palate

This wine is medium to full-bodied with a profusion of rich black berry fruit characters. The fruit flavours are balanced by subtle undertones of creamy chocolate and earth characters. The tannins are soft and supple and the acids well balanced with the wine finishing long, warm and full-flavoured.

Cellaring Notes

Crafted to be immediately approachable however in ideal conditions, the wine should cellar well to 2018, possibly longer.
