Winetastic

After a short blogging interlude which involved a wedding, honeymoon and christmas period break, we have another wine from Vinecrest ready to write up: the 2006 “Myths and Memories” Merlot.

Aromas of sweet berries, plum, dark chocolate and a hint of spice, this soft and medium bodied red tastes of dark fruits and oak up front with some dusty earth and spice on the finish. Lacking a little in depth, definitely smells better than it tastes.

Overall a decent example of the variety, however its not hard to find a wine at a similar price point with more complexity and interest. Definitely shows better with food.

Score: 86/100
Price: $22
Closure: Cork
Alcohol: 14.5%
