Tasting Notes

Aroma

An excellent example of what Merlot can achieve in Australia; it's delicate and cheeky, modest yet persistent. With youthful aromas evoking a Persian market of spices and fruits.

Palate

Following on from the nose, the tannins begin to unfold on the palate, beginning with black tea leaf and moist earth moving toward sweet pipe tobacco.

Vinification

Hand-picked, de-stemmed and whole berry sorted then 100% gently crushed. Cold soaked, Native fermentation, pumped over daily with a minimum 21 days on skins. Basket pressed with light pressing included in free run, heavier pressings kept separate and not included, drained directly to barrel.

    Fragrant and expressive, offering mocha-laced maraschino cherry, framboise and raspberry flavors, with details of dried sage and tobacco on a plush, velvety frame. Delivers wonderful presence and harmony on the finish, where the tannins provide appealing traction. Drink now through 2033. Points: 93/100

    It's an impressive merlot for its heady fragrance - a hint of cassis, florals, dried herbs and cedary oak - to its exceptionally silky, fuller-bodied palate. It builds flavour, the tannins sitting pretty and the finish as long as tomorrow. Makes you fall for merlot big time. (Jane Faulkner) Points: 95/100
