Medium+ ruby in colour with a medium intense nose.
Positives: It's been a long time since I had a Merlot that I really like. This easy drinking wine features light cedar, boysenberry, mulberry, mocha, lavender, plum, dark cherry, tarragon and woodsmoke. Medium+ body, medium tannins, good acidity, fairly long length and the alcohol is well integrated.
Negatives: None
Drink now on its own or pair cheese plate featuring pepper brie & manchego.
Tasted: 11 Jan 13
Score: 9+/10, Value: 9+/10, Total: 18.5/20
Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4+

Could use more cellar time but opened with decanting and air. Lots of cherries and other dark fruit but grainy tannins remain. Decent Merlot.

This is a very unique merlot, it almost feels like a pinot. Strong fruit, excellent easy drinker.
