Here’s a quality merlot that shines bright garnet in the glass, has bouquet garni scents and zings onto the front palate with juicy mulberry flavour. The middle palate introduces bramble jelly, liquorice and Turkish delight fruit characters integrated with savoury oak. Dusty tannins come through at the finish. It’s in fine wine stores and at mosswood.com.au. It is made from grapes grown on the Ribbon Vale vineyard, close to the original Margaret River Moss Wood vineyard.
