JM 1ST APPROACH

This classic variety of Bordeaux grows so well in the cool climate of Adelaide Hills a climate which is quite similar to Bordeaux. This Merlot has great depth of colour with purple and red tints. On the nose you see the classic plummy fruit character subtly enhanced with new oak. The palate is tight, but rounded with some acid and powdery tannins. All these combine to give the wine the classic merlot stamp and longevity in the bottle.

Medium crimson-purple; the plush red berry fruit and oak aromas lead into a multi-layered textural palate, with plum and more savoury fruit set within the subtle French and American oak in which the wine was matured. This is indeed a serious merlot at a laughable price. 92 points James Halliday Top 100 Wines
