Australian Merlot is often overlooked and sits down the pecking order, living quietly in the shadow of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, just doing its thing. And its thing is to deliver wonderfully juicy, plum-and-red-berry-laden grapes to award-winning winemaker, David King, to transform into one of the most drinkable red wines out there. This Merlot is perfectly ripe, smooth and has a lovely, delicate, spiced edge with notes of plum, blackberry and vanilla.
