Keermont Merlot 2021

A wine that however many bottles we buy, we always sell out! Hailing from two blocks on the farm and with a wee drop of Cabernet Franc, it has a beautiful dusty, ripe strawberry fruit nose with notes of dried herbs, cigar box and cinnamon. The palate is soft, clean and elegant, with a little orange rind and dried herbs. Gently grippy tannins and good natural acidity help to maintain a fresh elegance and a long, succulent dry finish. Their is remarkable structure despite the ripeness and power of this wine, I really compare it to a right bank Bordeaux, each vintage impresses but this latest feels particularly stunning.
