SOUTH ISLAND ONLY

This single vineyard Merlot was the "end of an era" and has been gently ageing for nearly 10 years to evolve into a grand old dame. Still retaining great depth of colour, the bouquet oozes sweet cigar spice with a hint of juicy prunes and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and powerful for a New Zealand Merlot with great persistence of flavour.  

 

This wine is under cork. It was unfiltered when it went into the bottle, so it may have sediment, perhaps a good idea to polish the decanter.

Enjoyable Merlot and definitely dark stone fruits and raspberry flavours.Not quite as gutsy as I prefer but more of a sweet red with a smokey finish. Enjoy with spicy foods or on it's own. 81/100 IMHO

Three Stars "Hot value from a hot climate." Joelle Thomson
When it comes to getting fantastic Shiraz at bargain prices - the Riverina in New South Wales is top of the field. This region makes superb easy drinking wines loaded with ripe fruit - at $9.99 this wine really over delivers.

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

A Gimblett Road single vineyard wine, 70% aged in French barriques. Bright, scarlet in colour, this has a full, deep bouquet of minerals, black fruit,red beries, licorice and earthy notes. Dry and full-bodied at 13.5% alc., this has bold, open leathery and cigar like flavours black berry with nutty,  and oaky nuances. A fruit expressive wine, this is a solid and robust Merlot that has  length of flavour.
