Esk Valley
Gimblett Gravels Merlot Blend
I actually didn’t know what to expect because it had been opened for a couple days. But it was very smooth and had a nice fruity but not sweet finish

Jul 10th, 2022It is of an intense deep purple. It displays aromas of plum, flowers, hibiscus with some minerals. Full bodied it is filled with spices, plum, dark berries, hibiscus leaves and some flowers. Nice tannins and medium finish, it is a bit dry. I had it for below $15 so for this price it is definitely one you must try! Cheers

Mar 15th, 2017Budget Bordeaux style. Nice fruit tannins and complexity. Would do well with some bottle age.
