Winemaker's Selection Merlot 2006   $10.00/$120.00 Rec. Retail $16.00 "This is a superb wine, with subtle nose, intense colour and a strong chocolate taste over a berry palate. Colour is deep red, tending to black. Viscosity is obvious with arches prominent when wine is aerated in the glass. Strong integrated flavours are complimented by the luxuriance of chocolate and a suggestion of acid which helps define the taste sensation. The aftertaste is moderately long and ill defined, giving a playfulness to the tasting experience. This wine would be a perfect accompaniment to roast lamb or beef, lasagna or even Mousaka, in fact any dish, which tends towards self-indulgence in the diner."

Yeasts are chosen to promote the development of fruity esters during fermentation. Young wines are taken off lees early to preserve fruit flavours. The wines are directed at the modern cuisine of simple and clean, though sometimes angular flavour combinations. This means that the wines are more elegant and approachable rather than big and bold. Early drinking wines have a certain freshness about them; they need to have the right combination of mid palate weight, oak characters and mouthfeel, fruit and alcohol designed into the wine. By concentrating on structure and balance from the outset, excellent wines in this particular style are achievable. 'Phonse O'Bryan Winemaker Back | Top REWARD YOURSELF WITH PENGALLY LANE WINES!
