Merlot

Merlot is growing in popularity. It’s plummy and juicy with soft tannins, so a good red wine for white wine drinkers to start with. Merlot is a also key variety in Bordeaux-style blends and traditionally combined with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.

Merlot is the easy-drinking red wine. It's very food friendly, going well with a variety of red meats such as lamb, as well as tomato pasta dishes and cheeses.

Esk Valley Winemakers Gimblett Gravels Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2007
The flavours typical of Gimblett Gravel merlot blends tend toward fruitcake, cherry, chocolate and oak spice. The palate as a young wine is firm and tannic, needing time to truly show its best; however, the potential is evident. Dry and long finishing this is a fine vintage for this blend.
