Alvi's Drift Merlot 2024

An excellent, ripe example of this popular Bordeaux variety, this wine is a masterful balancing act of fruit, oak and tannin, with intense aromas of delicious black cherry, plum, and just a hint of chocolate and mixed spice. The palate is broad and deep with firm, velvety, well-integrated tannins backed by ripe fruit that follows through to linger on the palate.

This popular Bordeaux variety will complement a range of meat and pasta dishes. It is a perfect partner to a spaghetti bolognaise, chicken pie or ideal for opening at a picnic to enjoy with dips and cheese. Ready to be enjoyed immediately, this wine will benefit from two to three years’ cellar maturation
