What I’m having is actually a new wine from them so may be first to review it, but they did a sulphite free merlot. It’s actually quite banging, has a real pointed red fruit chassis with those silky, sultry tannins and texture you want in merlot. It is electrically vibrant, and not at all a bad time for a solo camper

Relatively easy drinking with a fair amount of spice / tannin and black fruit flavour

Can see this being good a couple years down the track. Big fruits and jam. Some ripe tannins and leather.
