Hillcot

This 2008 hillcot merlot is deep ruby red in colour with ripe plums and blackberries, sweet spice and hints of dark chocolate enticing the nose immediately. The aromas are complimented by a subtle herbal earthiness, more dark berry fruits and sweet raspberries with rich charry oak. The palate is soft and fleshy and loaded with the flavours continuing from the nose. The wine has excellent structure with soft approachable tannins and an elegant lingering finish.
