  (WSET4 tasting note)
  
  Appearance: clear, medium amber.
  Nose: Clean, medium intense. Raspberry, blackberry, toast, coffee, chocolate, plumb, black pepper.
  
  Palate: Dry, medium+ acidity, medium body, medium, quite coarse tannins, medium alcohol, medium intense flavours with a medium+ finish.
  Raspberry, blackberry, toast, coffee, chocolate, plumb, black pepper, tomato leaf, ripe cherries.
  
  This is a good quality wine with sufficient fruit, acidity and length, but it lacks complexity.
  The wine is suitable for bottle ageing; the fruits and acidities could develop into a more balanced wine.

  MNB: Merlot (Home (Noe st)): (non-blind - my wine)
  Medium ruby color.
  Medium intensity nose. Some ripe blackcurrant, some leather, some leaves. Slight brett - mushroomy dog fur.
  Dry, medium body, 14% alcohol (actually 13.5%), elevated acid (zippy), medium plus tannins - slightly elevated but plush.
  No overt new oak - maybe just a hint of old cinnamon.
  
  Production
  - 80% merlot, 20% cab
  - hand-picked and sorted
  - 30% new oak, 70% tank
  - 25 days of maceration in temp controlled concrete tanks
  Style
  Commercial Appeal
  
  $30 - too expensive. Tastes $15.
