Voss Expert tasting note
On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries intertwine with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is rich and velvety, with a medium to full body that coats the mouth with luscious flavors.

Facon
Voluptuous and evolved wine with a elegant blend of dense fruit flavors, bringing blackberry and blueberry, cherry, and vanilla, all nicely integrated. The addition of minerality adds density and a mild licorice note, whereas the breeziness provides a clean contrast. The wine's serious and dense layers are well-balanced, making it a stonking selection for those desiring a full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend.
Narutaka Puttjer
Modest disappointment with subdued flavors, I had anticipated a richer Merlot experience, but perhaps it's nearing its prime. Still, a respectable wine.
Thorsten
Smooth, short finale that returns to the wine's core character.

Calluna Vineyards Merlot is praised for its rich fruit flavors like blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry, with hints of vanilla and minerality. While some find it voluptuous and well-balanced, others note subdued flavors in older vintages. The wine's bold texture and dry nature make it ideal for pairing with savory dishes. It's appreciated for its cost-effectiveness and craftsmanship.
The Calluna Vineyards Merlot Aux Raynauds is a beautifully crafted wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Merlot grape. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries intertwine with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is rich and velvety, with a medium to full body that coats the mouth with luscious flavors. The ripe fruit notes continue to shine, accompanied by subtle spice and a touch of dark chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruits and a hint of smokiness. This Merlot is a true expression of craftsmanship, showcasing the varietal's potential for depth and complexity. The Calluna Vineyards Merlot Aux Raynauds pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its medium to full body and balanced acidity make it a versatile choice. It would complement grilled meats, such as lamb or beef, as well as hearty pasta dishes and aged cheeses.
