Redemption Wines 2010 Merlot

Variety: Merlot
Region/G.I.: Central Ranges, Orange
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Jammy blackcurrant, cloves and a hint of pepper
Flavour: Reasonable length but rather weak in the body. The flavours of a pleasant concoction of fruit according to the nose and some earthy spice are fine. Overall though, the flavour never really takes off and tapers away to something not very exciting to drink
Points: 81
Notes: This is meant to be a celebration of cool climate but I think it probably should have been blended with something with a bit more oomph. $14.57 (~260 kc)
