I love me a good Merlot - do you drink much of it?

It’s one of those red wine styles that’s perfect for just sipping and enjoying. It doesn’t need to be accompanied by food or anything fancy, just good company (my preference is a good book 📚).

This 3drops 2020 Merlot is from WA’s Great Southern region. It spent 10 months in French oak prior to bottling and received a 94 from Halliday.

In the glass it’s a deep succulent plum red shade. Juicy vanilla infused berry fruit intertwined with dark chocolate nuances come through with a splash of freshly ground coffee. It’s super smooth and juicy with such a wonderful oomph. Iron fist in a velvet glove type of wine.

Thank you for this media sample @joanne3drops 🍷

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!
