2021 Ellis Wines Signature Merlot, Heathcote

Not your shy and retiring kind of merlot. Get ready for a full on attack of rich, ripe fruit and oak that works all the senses. Blackberry and cassis aromas with cinnamon, earth, a hint of fruitcake and violets. Merlot aromatics work the palate between dark fruits, toasty oak, chocolate and some savoury background notes. It's a heady mix, generous and full bodied. JP 14.6% alc.
