2019 Picardy Merlimont

Tasting Note by Ray Jordan:

A Right Bank-inspired blend of dominant Merlot with contributions from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It’s a slightly atypical Aussie style with its restrained elegance and less reliance on plump ripe fruit. This is one of the best. Bright aromas of bay leaf, black cherry and tomato bush. The palate is medium-weight with depth and poise. A fine lingering acidity takes it through to a sustained finish.
