Characteristics



Tasting Notes

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bred to a deep garnet color, Meerlust Merlot 1989 displays the finesse and distinction one would expect from a classics Merlot. Mellow, velvety with a hint of sweetness imparted by the berries, this complex wine is full-bodied and the splendid result of a good vintage year. Because of its tremendous concentration, this Merlot has the potential of greatly improving in complexity in the bottle.
