Drostdy-Hof Merlot 1998

Coastal Region, South AfricaThe Drostdy-Hof merlot has carved out quite a niche in the overcrowded merlot market. Lawrason says one of Canada's best selling merlots continues to impress. "The 1998 boasts deep colour and texture with sweet blackberry, nutty and chocolate flavours." Its quite supple and rich on the palate with what Lawrason terms "firm tannins and fine balance." I like the value here too.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
