Basic Barossa- fruity, jam style merlot; confectionery style as well; too juicy to drink with a meal as it pans out as simple; nice sunshine, little merlot character, especially after visiting Pomerol and St Emilion two weeks ago. Entry level merlot.

Medium to full body, stewed Jam fruits of mulberry and red cherry. Lots of clove, vanilla and baking spice from 20 months oak maturation.. I find this to be full throttle warm climate new world Merlot that's bleeds value for the dollar... High recommend for price range and west coast American Merlot lovers

Reasonably well made commercial warm climate Merlot. Not a lot to excite.
