Merricks (leased and managed by DML for the past two years) and Balnarring. Red cherry, spiced poached strawberry, mint, a little biscuit oak, dried rose perfume. It’s medium-bodied, gently sappy, has some earthy/mulchy character, but also a core of juicy and fragrant red fruits, a light powdery almost peppery grip to tannin, with a finish that’s firm and a little stalky, but also quite energetic and long. Nice. 93 Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
