Delta Estate Merlot 2019, Hawkes Bay
Dark red berries - blackberry, black cherry and plums, dark spices of clove and vanilla with some toasty wood layers. On the palate - very youthful and fruity with ripe plums and tart cherries, nice smooth texture with fine tannins and acid contrast. Very approachable, fruity, fresh ,balanced and well made. Best drinking from early 2021 through 2025.
