    McWilliam's Hanwood Estate 2005 Merlot (South Eastern Australia)

    In a flight of inexpensive Australian Merlot, this wine stood out for its density and concentration. Which is not to say it's a big wine, but it does offer plenty of mixed berry fruit and hints of chocolate in a medium-bodied wine. Picks up some savory olive and coffee notes on the mouthwatering finish.
