2016 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Merlot Margaret River
£28.00
“Vibrant crimson-purple; if you are searching for a merlot that has bell-clear varietal character and is a joy to drink, go no further: this is it. It is sheer perfection, its red fruits dripping from a trellis line of fine tannins and controlled French oak. The best Australian merlot I’ve tasted.”
98 Points, James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
