    Wakefield 2018 Estate Label Merlot (Clare Valley)

    This is a fruity, straightforward Merlot offering juicy plums, cherries and strawberries backed by aromas of black pepper and dried oregano spice. There's some subtle, toasty oak present. Medium weight, the fruit again takes the lead on the palate although it feels somewhat syrupy in texture. There's a bite of tannins and oak here, too.
