Bird in Hand Merlot 2009

Adelaide Hills, Australia

It is deep crimson in colour and exhibits intense aromas of plum, mulberry and violet. The complex well structured palate offers silky tannins, succulent fruit and a supple texture. Fleshy plum and spice are most apparent amongst a complex mix of flavours. The richness and vibrancy of the fruit ensures a long and persistent finish from this balanced and elegant wine.
