Occasional wine note

Merlot is our jam and this one is delicious. It's an easy drinker, but that does not mean that it doesn't have a fair bit of complexity. Layers of ripe plum and dark cherries, baking spices, and some underlying herbal notes, with great tannin and a velvety finish that is so satisfying.

What experts say about this wine

James Suckling

This is more spicy with notes of cedar, bark and nut shell with ripe red and dark berries in the background. Medium- to full bodied, linear and tense with succulent fruit and polished tannins. Compact and chalky finish.
