Jan Fiskaal Coastal Region Merlot
Vinho jovem, pouca acidez o que deixou sobre sair o teor alcoólico (14%). Vale como vinho para a tão sagrada taça diária.
Rubi claro, notas florais (lembra rosas silvestres) e caramelo. Pouco corpo, sem taninos.

Not bad for a budget SA Merlot, but I wouldn't buy it. Gifted to me by a co-worker, so I cannot really complain .... afterall it's a wine from a producer I've not heard of! This wine poured a little on the thin side. Maroon color with a hint of violet. The nose was intriguing. I was getting a lot of clove on this one that I typically do get with most South Africa wines. The entry of this one was darker than expected. Lots of acidity and bright black cherry fruit. The middle was darker, a little "chalkier" -- but the finish with the clove and black cherry and herbs was pretty neat. I know that this has to be a budget South African Merlot, but I was actually just rather pumped that this one made it out of South Africa for me to enjoy.

May 23rd, 2017Oak notes, cherry on the nose and palate. Not syrupy. Very good for a price point.
