Lifted aromas of plum and raspberry fruit with underlying spicy French oak. Dry, fine tannin and beautifully balanced French oak that provides structure for the plump red fruits that lead to a long finish. This wine will age gracefully over the next 10 years. Well suited to all veal dishes, particularly a veal rack or t-bone on the BBQ. “Hand-picked, open-fermented, matured in French oak (30% new) for 17 months, 85 dozen made. Deep crimson-purple; Great Southern merlot meets the challenge of Margaret River merlot head on, here blue and red berry fruits, fine tannins and French oak are all focused on the same page of what is a very good medium-bodied wine with excellent balance and length, the oak integrated.” - Halliday Wine Companion 2019 Picked Picked by hand 2nd April 2015 QuantityProduced 2,000 bottles Awards/Reviews 94 Pts — Halliday Wine Companion 2018 "Poacher's Ridge Merlot is always at, or near, the top of the tree." - James Halliday
