Zilzie Wines Selection 23 Merlot 2020

This Merlot presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The nose is a harmonious blend of ripe black cherry and plum, underscored by hints of dark chocolate and a whisper of cedar, suggesting judicious oak aging. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that enhances its fruit-forward profile. The finish is elegantly prolonged, with notes of mocha and a subtle mineral edge. This wine exemplifies the approachable yet refined character typical of premium Merlot, offering both immediate pleasure and potential for short-term cellaring.
