"Medium garnet-brick in color, the 1996 Merlot exudes notes of Chinese dried plums, truffles, earth and spice box accented by hints of game and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with rich, spicy and savory flavors framed with balanced acid, medium to firm, grainy tannins and a long finish."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
