2014 Kooyonga Creek Merlot

Quite advanced in its colour the wine displays a deep dark red to brick red core with black tinged edges and a tawny brick red hue. Lifted aromas of ripe plum, stewed fruits, earthy cedar and spicy dried herbs. Very ripe with a soft mouthfeel, flavours of dark plum, stewed fruits and a touch of dark chocolate fill the mouth over earthy cedar and spicy dried herbs. The 15.7% alcohol gives the finish a blast of heat which unbalances the wine. Velvety tannins. Moderate aftertaste of spicy stewed fruits, earthy cedar and dried herbs.
