2013 Opening Gambit Merlot

An elegant nose of blackcurrant and black fruits with creamy undertones. The palate is charming, with dark, ripe fruits, supple tannins and well integrated oak.

The wine’s aromas of cassis and black cherry are echoed on the palate along with flavours of fig, espresso and dark chocolate. The texture is concentrated but the tannins are long and polished.

95 Points, John Schreiner

An elegant nose of blackcurrant and black fruits with creamy undertones leads to a charming palate with dark, ripe fruits, supple tannins and well-integrated oak. The entry is dry with a mix of red and black fruit, denser richer fine grained tannins and some bright acidity.
