2020 Opening Gambit Merlot

An intense nose of cassis, red fruit and savory spice with creamy undertones. The palate opens with raspberry, blackberry and black cherry fruits giving way to chocolate, tobacco notes and polished tannins.

Like the 2016 harvest, the nose opens with intense black cherries and cassis, with streaks of baking chocolate. More black raspberry and cherry patrol a polished palate flecked with dark chocolate, tobacco, and desert scrub.

95 Points, Anthony Gismondi

The wine is full, even voluptuous, in body. Aromas of sage, cassis and cherry lead to flavours of black cherry, with notes of chocolate on the lingering finish.

96 Points, John Schreiner
