2006 Merlot

Tasting Notes | Awards | Reviews

Produced from a select parcel of premium Frankland fruit,  this wine has a rich fruitcake nose of plums and allspice 

that is complemented by toasty vanillin French oak. It exhibits an earthy mid palate and is balanced by a textured finish of fine tannins and mocha. Minimal filtration used – some sediment may remain. Cellar up to 10 years.

Ray Jordan’s Guide to Wine 2008

86/100 Silky smooth and delightfully supple medium-bodied Merlot. Minty red berry and light plum aromas are appealing and the slightly fruit cake richness and gentle vanillin oak very good.
