Craneford Merlot(2002)
Its opaque purple color is accompanied by juicy aromas of roasted coffee, chocolate, berries, and toasty oak, supple tannin, large, corpulent flavors, and well-integrated acidity. It should drink well for 7-10 years. Run by Don Zilm, this impressive winery fashions textbook Barossa cuvees, meaning power, thickness, intensity as well as surprising balance. Most importantly, prices are shockingly low for such quality.
Stored in temperature/humidity controlled cellar since purchase.
