Irvine The Estate 2017 Merlot Eden Valley

Every women needs a decent collection of handbags and quality wine, correct ladies?

This Irvine Wines 2017 Merlot is a single vineyard wine from South Australia’s Eden Valley. The vineyard is about 400m above sea level which means cool nights and longer ripening periods which the Merlot grape variety loves.

From the inky red-magenta colour to the long flavoursome finish, I really enjoyed this elegant Merlot. Notes of dark wild berries, savoury spice and creamy chocolate come through on the nose while in the mouth black plums and hints of blueberries intertwine with soft and balanced tannins. A total queen of a wine.

A big thanks to Toni Vigneto Consulting for sending over this sample bottle.
