Jeremy Oliver 90 points!
Jeremy Oliver 90 points!The fruit for the 2004 Patricia Merlot was sourced predominantly from the Glenkara vineyard in Western Victoria (94%), with a small parcel (6%) from Taylors vineyard in Beechworth.
The wine was destemmed and crushed to fermenters with the wine then being cared for in the Kindergarten winery before blending. Selected parcels of the fruit spent 18 months in oak, with 70% in new and the balance in one year old French barriques.
The wine is a mid plum red colour with lifted blackcurrant and cherry aromas with hints of spice and licorice. The palate is soft and juicy with fine silky tannins, spice and integrated French oak.
