Brown Brothers Merlot 2005/2006 6 x 75cl Code: Country: Region: Category: Barcode: Australia Victoria Australian Red Wine 029147318885 Description: In the glass this wine has a lovely dark cherry colour with savoury aromas of cinnamon, plum and even leafy tobacco. These flavours follow through to the palate where the fresh fruit characters blend in with the very soft tannins to make it a delightful early drinking red. This elegant Merlot can be enjoyed now, but cellaring for 2 to 4 years from vintage will add complexity. Background Information: Merlot is grown extensively in the Bordeaux region of south-west France. In the areas outlying the pretty medieval villages of Pomerol and St Emilion, it is the predominant variety, traditionally blended with Cabernet Franc to produce the much sought after reds of the region. In the nearby Medoc it is used to soften and balance the intense and often austere Cabernet Sauvignon. Plantings of Merlot have also increased rapidly in Australia in recent years. It can be a temperamental grape variety in the vineyard, but when conditions are dry and mild, as they are in the King Valley during the growing season, it produces crops of ripe, juicy and flavoursome fruit.
