As always with Wakefield this has a very generous aroma - in this case it is candied blackberry, menthol and florals,...
Sharp red fruit, a peppery reduction and a hollow feel to the sound. Hard acids and a bit of uneasiness in how wood...
Light, easy-drinking merlot here, with soft tannins and short finish. Enjoy now. Tasted November 2020.

Screw cap. The fragrant nose on this Merlot offers spicy ripe currant and green herbal aromas with savoury, earthy, and vanilla undertones. It's medium-bodied on the ripe, slightly candied and jammy palate with blackberry, minty cassis, vanilla, and sweet spice flavours with touches of plum. Acids are fresh while soft, supple tannins have some texture. Savoury wood spice and chocolate notes linger on the finish, with good length. Crafted in a casual, crowd-pleasing style. Tasted Nov/2020.
