Very rich and heady for a South African Merlot. Went perfectly with the simple tomato and basil pasta I had it with. Age has made this wine soft and highly sophisticated unlike the people drinking it.

About The Wine Diary
I am not a wine expert. I am not in the wine industry. I can get a bit pretentious when describing wine sometimes, and other times I can't think of a word to describe what I'm tasting. I do love wine, drink a lot of it, live in the Western Cape of South Africa and visit a lot of wine farms though.
Hopefully this site will help strangers to SA wine pick a good bottle over a bad one, and visit the better wine farms that I've enjoyed. At worst, at least I will be able to use it to remember what is was I was drinking last night!
