WineDiva's Review

Brooding, muscular, chocolaty.
This organic Merlot comes from a west Oliver site and was aged 14 months in French oak barrels, of which 20% were new. You can expect aromas of plum cake, fragrant baking spices and chocolaty notes with undertones of pipe tobacco and wild sage. The palate is textural with powdery tannins; dusty plums, tobacco, toasted oak and spice flavours mirror the nose. It is a brooding and muscular style with restrained fruit.
