NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This South African Merlot from Backsberg is an elegant and balanced wine, with dark cherry, blackberry, and currant aromas on the nose.On the palate, the wine is soft and smooth, with flavors of ripe cherry, cocoa powder, and a hint of cedar. The tannins are well integrated, and the finish is long and lingering.
