2017 Kooyonga Creek Merlot

Deep dark red black colour with a dark to brick red hue. Top notes of mulberry and rhubarb meld into earthy tobacco, stalky cedar and spice notes. Medium bodied, the mulberry and rhubarb fruits show a fleshy generosity with cedary tobacco, earth and spicy dried herb characters on the back half. Dryish finish with grainy tannins, the aftertaste picking up some bitter stalk like elements.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 14.5%
