2023 Kalleske Merchant Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley
$49.99
In Appearance : medium purple red in colour
On the Nose : an array of aromatics including cherry, violet, baking spice, black olive, rusty steel, cedar, tobacco and a hint of tomato
On the Palate : The medium-full bodied palate is alive with juicy red and blue fruits. Tannins are prominent but extremely fine grained, giving a neat backbone to carry the line of bright fruit purity. Balanced acidity supports the composite of flavours, lending elegance and restraint. Classy subtle oak is evident, adding further depth. Expressive and long in the finish, overall, a well-formed wine.
Merchant is a classic Barossa Cabernet that can be equally enjoyed now or in a decade.
