Mills Reef Winery Reserve Merlot 2018, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay
Intense and inviting bouquet of dark red berries and toasty oak. Aromas of Doris plums and black cherry, clove and vanilla pod, toasty barrel and baked stone soil notes. On the palate - a delicious wine packed with flavours of dark red berries and plums, black cherry, preserves then barrel spices, sweetness and oak flavours. Ripe firm tannins with a velvety texture,Medium+ acidity and weight, warming alcohol and lengthy finish. Totally satisfying wine ready to enjoy from purchase and through 2024.
