2007 Gimblett Road Merlot

Tasting Notes:

Black cherry and oranges up front, revealing layers of herbs and spice, give this one some air to let the astringency settle and you’ll be rewarded with some subtle earthy complexity. Good with cheese or the big red meat dishes, maybe even better in a few years.
