Carmen Stevens Merlot 2021

Deep dark granite colouring. A layered aroma spectrum greets you on the nose. Beautiful ripe cherry and blackberry fruit becomes evident and is complemented by a fresh eucalyptus/minty aroma. The palate entrance is refreshing and carries the ripe black currant fruit that flows into dark chocolate. The acidity brings tension to the palate that is interwoven with the tannin structure that adds palate weight. Finally, the wine carries just enough oak to compliment the fruit and freshness of the wine.
