Kirralaa Merlot 2001
South Eastern Australia, AustraliaThe merlot has an intriguing black cherry jam and toasty vanilla nose mixed with spicy, sweaty saddle aromas, black olive and a toasted bread and straw background. Round and quite rich with cherry jam, plum, spicy vanilla flavours and a minty, olive finish. Some grainy, green tannins cause the wine to finish a bit green taking away just a bit from an otherwise fine effort. The 85/15 blend of merlot and cabernet comes form Coonawarra 60 per cent and the Clare Valley.Tasted: 29 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $24.95 | 750ml |
