Many critics score this McLaren Vale wine highly.
Critic tasting note: Still a medium hued crimson colour, no whole bunches here, nine months in older French oak. Spicier than the previous wines, a little meatier in terms of its aromas. Mouthfilling and ripe fruit, really quite tangy, there's a plummy quality, but a rasp of tannin and souring acidity that gives some grip and real gastronomic appeal." - 91/100, Tom Cannavan
Fresh & exciting Very potable and good value simple merlot.
