Blackstone Merlot

2010

Tasting Notes

Very late to ripen but has big, rich colour and full, ripe flavours, and soft round textures with nice, mature length. The wine opens with blackberry, currant, and plums on the nose, with flavours in that same dark-fruit range. The full tannins and rich, supple mouth are very lush and the wine is big and bold, with lots of smoky, toasty oak and a long, lingering finish.
