Botha Kelder Merlot Reserve 2014

Vibrant ruby colour with warm spice, dark chocolate and mocha aromas on the nose. Juicy and fruity with spice cake flavours, balanced by rich intensity of black berries and plums, creamy chocolate, exotic dried flowers and savoury oak. The finish leaves you wanting more!

Serve with roast leg of lamp and pan juices, a juicy grilled steak with a mushroom sauce or a creamy melanzane parmigiana.
