Winemaker Wayne Stehbens strives to overcome Merlot’s underrated reputation and to preserve Katnook Estate’s aim of presenting wines with ‘subtlety, intrigue and complexity’ by creating a Merlot to rival the Bordeaux classics.
This medium to deep red 2010 vintage has a fragrant nose showing red and black fruits with hints of cardamom, cloves and tomato bush. The palate is plush and generous with some rustic notes, an elegant core of cassis, plum and mulberry fruit, ripe mocha-like tannins and just the right amount of grip on the finish.
