Awards: 91 Points & 4 1/2 Stars - Wine Orbit.

A deep, dark, fruit driven nose with loads of dark cherry and spicy plums as well as a touch of warm oak. The palate is rich and full, and oozes with dark fruit flavours. Blackberry and dark cherry flavours combine with a rich toasty oak and a fruit toast type spicy finish. Wonderfully textured and weighted, the 2018 Merlot Cabernet is a fantastically complex yet fantastically drinkable wine.

“Aromas of plums and dark berries, clove and vanilla, smoky wood tones and dark rose. On the palate - youthful, firm, fruity and dry. Tannins add lots of texture, acid adding crispness bringing out the flavours of the plum and berries as well as tart cherry. Fleshy fruit filled finish. Best drinking from today and through 2022.” Cam Douglas, April 2020.
