The Little Penguin Merlot 2003
South Eastern Australia, AustraliaI'm not sure what the rational is for selling Australian merlot in the over-crowded North American merlot market but it is one of four chosen varieties for The Little Penguin line-up. This initial release has a spicy, leafy, herbal, peppery cassis tone on the nose. The entry is merlot soft, silky and sweet with more peppery, spicy, cherry, leafy, tobacco flavours and some light tannin on the finish. Warm and sweet like most everything out of Oz at this price point.Tasted: 26 June 2004Tasted by: Prices:BC | $12.99 | 750ml | |
