Novelty Hill Merlot 2007
Intact and plummy color, nice core of blackness and purple on the rim. Nose follows the color nicely ... plums and cloves and mellow spice throughout. Round and yummy aromas that make you want to dive headfirst into the glass, very inviting style. Taste is complete, firm and with a streak of tannin that kicks in about two seconds after swallowing. A nice long finish, delicious. Shows how good Merlot can be. 14.4%
