We use fruit from some of the oldest plantings in the valley (over thirty-year-old vines). The result from year to year is superlative consistency and concentration. Our Merlot is a perennial favourite at consumer tastings events and wine shows. This wine has the darkest colour, showing aromas of dark chocolate and plum. The palate is full bodied and immense showing both plushness and complexity. This Merlot is one of the most structured we have produced and while drinkable now, will take a few years to show at its best.

On the palate blackberries, fruitcake, and cassis dominate. With a long finish and rounded tannin this is a good wine. The nose has a sweetness that is also intriguing.

Lots of blackberry and the wine still has some legs left. Definetly able to tell that this wine has some age on it.
