| Description: |
|
The wine is a deep plum red with garnet hues. The nose has loads of plum, cherry and spice aromas with hints of chocolate and smoky cedar. On the palate plums, mulberries and spicy tobacco leaf flavours are interwoven with toasty, vanillan oak. The plush velvet tan- nins of the Merlot support the fruit and give persistence of fla- vour in the mouth. This is an easy to drink wine that will marry well with food.Warm, ripe luscious fruit is the driving force behind this wine. The excellent vintage conditions of 2001 allowed full develop- ment of flavour ripeness in Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This has been preserved in the wine by careful control of harvest and ferment conditions. After maturation, individual parcels of wine were blended to produce a medium bodied style with layers of flavour and well integrated oak support. (12 x 75 cl)

Franciscan Merlot Napa Valley California
Description: The Merlot is harvested from a variety of Napa Valley vineyards, including the Franciscan vineyard in the heart of the Oakville District. When tannin maturity and flavor development have reached their optimum stage the grapes are harvested. This fanaticism for ripeness is evident in the Franciscan Merlot, a wine that is plush, elegant and expresses remarkable concentrated fruit flavors with our hallmark supple tannins. Ruby red in colour with brilliant clarity and medium depth, this Merlot has deep, stone fruit aromas. Rich, lush and velvety the Merlot is showing flavours of fresh fruit, cherries, plums and blackberries that merge with light, toasty oak. Well balanced and structured, with a long finish this is a superb merlot. (12 x 75 cl)

Preece Merlot Victoria Australia
Description: Tasting Note. Soft, smooth and plummy with plenty of black berry fruit flavours with mocha coffee and vanilla notes from the oak ageing. Juicy and fresh but with a lovely weight of fruit and fine ripe tannins. 14.5% Producer Profile Made at the Mitchelton winery in Victoria , the Preece wines take their name from Australian wine legend Colin Preece who was one of the first people to spot and cultivate Victoria's potential for winemaking back in the early 1970s. The wines are made with all the care and attention to detail you'd expect of winemaker Toby Barlow and his team and reflect Victoria's cooler climate with an elegant, approachable style in contrast to the bigger blockbuster wines from elsewhere in Oz. Jeremy Oliver described the range in his Australian Wine Annual 2005 as "Simply exceptional, especially at their modest price points." (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £50.21
