This is the third vintage we have tried from this Geographe producer and it would appear that a strong track record is being built for merlot. Ripe nose, shows good richness but not overdone. Nice plums and blackberries, has excellent depth. Text book in the palate, more plums and berries, although a little more subdued than the nose would suggest. The structure makes up for this slight shortfall, silky smooth, low tannins and good length with a touch of grip. Some smoothing oak contributes nicely. One of the few straight merlots that is worth taking a look at.
