NOT AVAILABLE FOR TASTING AT CELLAR DOOR

Fairbairn Capital Trophy Wine Show 2004 - Bronze
Swiss International Wine Awards 2004 - Seal of Approval

The bounty of our merlot vineyards is almost endless. In this wine the intensely concentrated, super-ripe fruit gives an almost syrupy consistency on the palate. One could easily be tempted to drink it upon release, but cellaring for a few years will leave the various elements - fruit, acid, oak and tannin-harmoniously integrated.
