When you think Merlot, you might think a bit wishy-washy...However this Merlot from JJ Hahn packs a bit of a punch. On the nose there are lashings of stewed plum, violets and cinnamon. The palate provides stewed plums and blackcurrants with a dash of cinnamon and clove spice. The long finish is supported by silky tannins and a little acidity. Matured in a mixture of new and seasons French oak, blended with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon just to give it a little extra kick!
