Review Detail
2008 Grey Sands Merlot
Wine Rating
93
The 2008 Merlot is the current release from Grey Sands and they have released it at a great point in it’s maturity, a veritable bouquet garni on the nose that is led by bay leaf with sultry and leathery dark fruits and touch of peppermint.
The palate gives balance and structure that is consistent with the winemaking style of Grey Sands; leathery plum are wrapped by supple tannins with background notes of peppermint crisp and undergrowth, you are met with a long finish of plum and earth.
An very good expression of the much maligned variety.
