If you have met Steve & Emma Raidis, you know how easy going but hard working people they are and fiercely proud of the wines they produce. Merlot has copped a bit of a bad wrap ever since that movie' but thanks to examples like this one, it has reclaimed its place as a popular variety in its own right instead of a supporting role in blends. There is some juicy plummy fruit and herbs in the mix with the tannins providing that "cuddle for your tastebuds" just like the back label says.
