  Surprisingly good Merlot. Medium/- tannin. Not so smokey. Nice fruit and concentration. An edgier style, but, again, surprisingly good.

  Not bad for a budget SA Merlot. This wine poured a little on the thin side. Maroon color with a hint of violet. The nose was intriguing. I was getting a lot of clove on this one that I typically do get with most South Africa wines. The entry of this one was darker than expected. Lots of acidity and bright black cherry fruit. The middle was darker, a little "chalkier" -- but the finish with the clove and black cherry and herbs was pretty neat. I know that this has to be a budget South African Merlot, but I was actually just rather pumped that this one made it out of South Africa for me to enjoy.
