Katnook 2008 Founder's Block Merlot



General: One from my latest case from Wine People

Variety: Merlot

Region/G.I.: Limestone Coast, Coonawarra

Alcohol: 13.5%

Bouquet: Round-red plum juice, other red fruits and a little (earthy/rotting) soaked oak

Flavour: Medium body, smooth and gentle. The fruit is true to nose and not overbearing. A hint of oak and the mildest touch of tannin. Pleasurable.

Points: 84

Notes: In the mixed case buy, they come in at about $12/bottle (216 Kc) which is great for this quality. As I've recently been tasting from cases bought from Wine People and Wine Selectors, there hasn't been a bad drop yet. A bit of a change from the other wine club...
