A really interesting, different style of Merlot for Australia. Bramble and black pepper accent berry fruit on the nose, and the palate has focused, taut berries with a claylike mouthfeel. Imported by Southland Wines.

Get past the Sweet Tart-y aromas and you’ll be knee-deep in juicy berry flavors and an ample helping of accenting toast. Pleasing and forward; meant to be drunk over the near term. Imported by Southland Wines.

This blend of Semillon, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay smells like lime zest. The palate offers more lime and lemon, plus a slightly spritzy feel. Imported by Southland Wines.

Though there are pretty tones of vanilla, grass and cream throughout, this Chard is a little clumsy and without the acidity it needs. Brighter flashes of citrus and mineral come through on the finish.

With its mocha and herb aromas, this is recognizably Merlot, albeit one with slightly candied cherry fruit and a medicinal edge. Crisp on the finish.
