Tasting Notes:
2022 Merchant Cabernet is rich red purple in colour. Aromatically it has lifted perfume with leading notes of violet, blackcurrant, and cherry together with cedar oak, hints of tomato leaf and choc-mint.
The palate is medium-full bodied. It displays lovely ripe varietal Cabernet characters with typical Barossa richness. The fruit is fresh and vibrant, supported with a nutty oak background. Tannins are prominent giving a solid backbone but being natural they perfectly integrate. Overall well poised and finely balanced, this wine finishes with a strong, lengthy finish. Merchant is a classic Barossa Cabernet that can be equally enjoyed now or in a decade.

Grape Varietal(s):
Cabernet Sauvignon
