Main Divide
Merlot Cabernet 2019 750ml

This wine is made in the same style as the celebrated Claret from Bordeaux, using traditional methods.

On release the colour is intense garnet, its nose a bewitching plethora of black fruit and savoury aromas.  Dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum are straddled by earthy notes of truffle and leather, along with woodsmoke, mixed spice and a hint of wet gravel.  The palate is full bodied yet succulent, the larger Merlot component providing plush, ripe, fine-grained tannins and generous fruit weight.  Balancing this is a backdrop of structure and backbone afforded by the Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, arming the wine with appealing complexity, depth, and a lasting finish.
