More Information - Zorgvliet Merlot

The Merlot on Zorgvliet grows in shallow duplex soils that contains a dense layer of clay in the subsoil. This leads to concentration and causes this wine to often be mistaken for its heavier brother – Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose reminds of black cherry, plum and sandalwood, with a hint of boegoe. The entry in the mouth is smooth with good dark chocolate focus on the mid palate and a somewhat dryish finish. There is a tight mid-palate focus. The wine is full bodied and rich and will reward some aging. AWARDS
