Description

"This is beautifully fruited on the nose showing dark plum, cranberry, toasted hazelnut and game characters with a touch of dark cocoa. The palate is wonderfully weighted and fleshy, delivering excellent fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, finishing persistent and silky. The wine offers gorgeous fruit flavours with subtle spicy complexity. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2018

The Snapper Rock Merlot Cabernet has deep, dark cherries and forest berries on the nose with a subtle vanilla character. Intense and bright on the palate with a gorgeous texture and a hint of oak. Vibrant berries and dark chocolate flavours are beautifully balanced by a long, delicate acidity and fine, ripe tannins. Immediately approachable or cellar carefully over the next 3-6 years.
