Geoff Merrill Wines Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (6 x 750mL)

Expert Reviews

95 points – Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)

“A stunning expression offering seductive aromas of crème de cassis, tobacco, cedar, clove and smoked game characters. The palate displays outstanding concentration and persistency, wonderfully supported by silky mouthfeel and grainy tannins. It’s multi-layered and engaging with a lengthy gratifying finish. 5 stars.”

94 points – Stuart Robinson (The Vinsomniac)

“A blend of McLaren Vale (53%) and Coonawarra (47%) fruit. Released with the age on it, still retaining an element of youth, vigour and freshness. Plummy, damson, blackcurrant notes on the nose. The palate conveying an acidic freshness, tannin is firm and somewhat robust still now. Gives a firmness and provides length and depth of flavour. Somewhat older school in its presentation, an observation – nothing more. Matched this a medium reverse seared rib fillet on the bone, the tannin/protein match-up a perfect pairing to highlight the depth and even of a touch of char in the oak. In the zone now, yet still with plenty ahead of it.”

93 points – Jane Faulkner (Halliday Australian Wine Companion)

“A blend of fruit 53% from McLaren Vale, 47% Coonawarra, has created a neat combo of juicy blackberries dipped in spice, mint peppermint, sweet oak, new leather and earthy flavours too. Medium-bodied, supple with the tannins mellowing out. In a good spot.”
