Offers floral and earth notes on the nose. The palate gives cherry pie and spice and finishes with a lingering flavor of grape.

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This merlot is slightly un-ripe, with gives way to more earthy flavours. Plum, dried fig, black olive, black pepper, and dried oregano. Full bodied and tannic. Flavour has a little bit of sweetness - grape, plum, vanilla. Would pair well with lamb.

Chris Coughlin rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Lots of floral notes up-front giving way to subtle cherry and spice, pair with a smokey bbq pulled-pork sandwhich.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Medium bodied, but presenting more like something heavier. Lots of black cherry, leather, eucalyptus and a touch of sweet purple flower. The taste is slightly spicy with a little bit of tannin. Nice with roast or grilled pork.

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Plum / anise / cassis / violet / sweet black cherry / medium body & acidity / moderate tannins / minerally finish.

A dark ruby red Merlot, giving aromas of red cherries, vanilla and wet earth.
a great palate of red plums and cherries with vanilla, cloves and oak.
Super with roast wild boar or pork.
