TASTING NOTES
Colour: Dark ruby of medium depth with a bright strawberry edge.
Nose: Pleasant complexity of ripe black cherry and plum fruit aromas layered by earthy mineral and spice nuances.
Palate: A soft lush juicy smooth entry with cranberry and ripe red cherry flavours supported by firm yet friendly tannins and slick oak integration with a well balanced long aftertaste of coffee & plums.
Overall: A medium to full bodied Merlot of pleasing intensity with a smooth soft nature making it accessible early although well supported by firm ripe tannins that provide the structure for further development.
