Smith & Hooper Merlot 2022

Wow. Here is a Merlot from Wrattonbully that offers so much for this price. The aromas of red currant and subtle cool mint merge with cedary perfumed notes. It’s delightfully fragrant with beautiful exotic violet notes. The palate displays firmish tannins and gentle oak infusion to support the medium body. Finishes with a fine chalky minerality. You don’t often get Merlot of this quality for this price.
