Description:
This wine also (as does our Nebbiolo) reflects the 2004 vintage, where drought and heat pulled out some superlative characters in red grapes. Our Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Merlot has a dark, deep, extracted red colour with purple edges as it lies in the glass. Aromas of plums and prunes rise as though they come from a deep, warm, wellspring. The taste seems to mingle black cherry, raspberry, and dark chocolate. The feel in the mouth is well filled-out, but not heavy. Tannins make themselves known in a powdery, slightly drawing way. Barrel-added spiciness, not quite vanilla, lingers at the back of the nose. This is wine that makes you curious, makes you want to come back to the glass and nail that flavour, that aroma.
