InReverie Merlot 2020

With Merlot, one can either take the Petrus/Masseto route, extraordinary wines with even more extraordinary prices, or one can use the delightful exuberance of the variety to provide simple and delicious drinking. Welcome to the latter. Bright and yet deep red. This is a soft and berry-driven style. Vibrant forward flavours of plums and blueberries. A little mocha. Juicy dark berries. The flavours are a little upfront. The palate is soft and supple with some gentle tannins plus decent length. A wine which is cracking value and which shows just what an enjoyable drink merlot can be, when done right.
