Medium deep red with youthful edges. Aromas of forest berries, chocolate and earthy, tobacco-like scents combine on the nose to give a complex, rewarding bouquet. The palate structure is taut yet full of ripe fruit flavours. Plummy, black olive flavours are supported by the classic “iodine” note of varietal Merlot. Medium to full bodied with a firm, structured finish, this wine is an ideal accompaniment to rich meat dishes.

Richland Merlot is deep garnet with red hues. A soft, supple red with a fruit driven bouquet of ripe, cherry, plum and violet with cedar overtones. The flavoursome palate of plum and sweet fruit blend nicely with vanillin oak. This is a delightful, medium weight wine which finishes long with soft, firm tannins.Excellent to drink now or cellar for the next 2 to 5 years.

The wine's aroma is inviting and shows a sophisticated meld of berries, clove and cedar spice complemented by earthy forest floor. The palate is lively and bright opening with initial red berries and allspice fruit building to chocolate praline mid palate with soft warm tannins that continue to please long after the wine is tasted.
