Bright magenta, Estate Vineyards Merlot/Cabernets ’16 shows lifted notes of blackberry and boysenberry, with fine touches of mint, sandalwood and fresh, ripe cherry. Prune, coffee, redcurrant and wild strawberry on the palate all add depth to the wine’s immediate appeal - balanced fruit concentration that glides to a savoury finish and plush, firm tannins. Estate Vineyards Merlot/Cabernets ’16. A little bit royal. A little bit excellent, every time.
