Piano Piano Oliver's Blend Merlot Cabernet 2022
Outstanding value here.
With fruit from the Beechworth Hills, this wine demonstrates the perfect blending of the softer plummy Merlot variety with the more austere structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium bright cherry crimsen colour, sweet soft and supple red fruits - plum and strawberry with savoury hints of tobacco . On the nose you can expect a far more expensive wine. A delight. On the palate a beautiful medium bodied wash of juicy red fruit with just the right amount of blue and black fruits and a perfect amount of structured balance. Great drinking now and for at least five years. Pull this out for friends in five years and they will be impressed.
It's very rare for me to get excited about a Merlot dominant blend. This one is smokin. Ian Cook
