Tower Estate Orange Merlot 2003

By Gary Walsh

Tower Estate MerlotI think I have the price and alcohol correct here but I can’t be sure. I had a quick glass of this on Christmas night and scrawled down a few notes. I do remember liking the wine quite a lot. On another note another box of Tower Estate whites arrived recently and I it must contain one of the few examples of cork closed riesling and sauvignon blanc. Strange but true.

Aromas of berry, herbs, earth and compost. On the palate medium bodied with excellent texture. Nice silky tannins and flavours of berry, spice, herb and earth. It is pretty gamey but also a wine of some sophistication and interest.
