Shop Review: One of the most popular wines in the Riebeek range, the Merlot offers an array of red berries and a soft and mellow palate. The style is elegant with well-integrated fruit and oak flavors on the nose. The palate is velvety and smooth with an aftertaste that lingers with the juicy flavors of abundant berries.
My Review: On the nose this wine smells so delightful with hints of cherry, dark berry, chocolate, spice, and plum. On the palate this wine actually tastes like coffee with some berry undertones. The light tannins and dryness of this wine are intriguing.
This wine was not tasted with food.
