Alchemy Merlot 2017
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
A dark and expressive Merlot from vigneron Neal Cave. Look for dark flavours in the plum and cocoa spectrum with good mid-palate drive and a lovely line of creamy acidity rounding out the palate. A solid effort from the 2017 vintage.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim writes "The complex bouquet shows dark plum, spiced cherry, game, dried herb, leather and mixed spice aromas, followed by a juicy palate that is beautifully rounded and supple. The wine offers sweet fruit flavours together with rich savoury undertones, finishing long and silky."
The winery writes "Alchemy 2017 Merlot was created from hand-picked fruit, which was de-stemmed, crushed and fermented, and then aged in French oak barrels (35% of which were new). The resulting wine provides a core of blackberry and raspberry fruit characters, integrated with earthy and savoury complexity. The palate is soft and supple, with a warm, toasty finish."
