Yarra Yering Merlot 2019

Merlot doesn’t often appear as a YY varietal bottling – the last was in 2012. While somewhat closed, this is starting to reveal itself as a wine of note. Raspberries and blackcurrants doused with cocoa and a vibrancy throughout. There's a plushness across the palate, with woodsy spices and a slight green cardamom taste that's unusual but appealing. Drink to 2030. - 93 Points. Jane Faulkner, James Halliday’s Wine Companion.
