Eagles' Nest Merlot 2006

This wine exudes its loyalty to a cool climate terroir. Its colour is gorgeous plum with a deep garnet rim. The nose unravels into an array of deep red berry fruit, raspberries, black berries and red cherries, later exposig hints of mocha and coffee. The underlying spiciness which is typical of cool climate grapes is prevalent throughout. On the palate the wine enters with a fruit profile similar to that of the nose which carries through to the taste buds. Plenty of ripe red berries coupled with the spiciness, entice the tongue. This wine is well rounded to the point of being velvety. Flavours carry right through supported by elegant ripe soft tannins which give a long and lingering finish.
