Grant Burge Hilcot Merlot

The 2010 Hillcot Merlot is deep red in colour, indicative of the rich flavour which follows. The nose is dominated by rich, dark fruits enhanced by savoury spices and a hint of vanilla. The palate has concentrated flavours of ripe plums and blackberries, with a fleshy mid-palate of dark chocolate and vanilla and fine, grainy tannins. Possessing a more refined structure than many Merlots, this medium bodied wine is ready to enjoy now and will reward cellaring for up to 8 years. 2010 Vintage.
