Blue Pyrenees Merlot 2009
Colour: Ruby red with a purple hue.
Aroma: Fragrant violets, dark berry fruit, regional mint and classy French oak.
Flavour: A vibrant mouthful of floral plums complemented by forest floor flavours of mint leaves, earth and cedar wood. Medium-bodied with a soft structure from the fine grain tannins, this Merlot is memorable for its fragrance and lingering bright fruit flavours that invite immediate drinking however some cellaring time will also reward those who are patient.
Cellaring: Can be enjoyed now or cellared with confidence for 5 years.

Awards: The 2009 Blue Pyrenees Merlot was awarded a gold medal at the Rutherglen Wine Show 2010 class 212 at its very first wine show assessment.
