Product Notes

Yalumba Y Series Merlot wine is a delightful Australian selection that evokes a luscious blend of rich plum infused with vivacious cherry and exotic spice. This sublime merlot impressively balances ripe, dark fruits with soft tannins, encapsulating the classic attributes of its South Australian origins. The palate is voluptuously smooth, with hints of mocha and sweet oak. Its deep crimson colour hints at the concentrated flavours and elegant weight carried through the long finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this Merlot embodies Yalumba's commitment to crafting distinctive, high-quality wines. A delightful investment for both casual and expert wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant crimson in colour with a magenta hue, the 2017 Y Series Merlot bursts from the glass with strong notes of fresh, just picked black fruits; the nose is brooding with hints of fruit pastilles. Dark chocolate and a touch of dried fruit add to the welcoming aromatics; this is an expressive and vivacious Merlot. The palate is generous, round and succulent. The mid palate shows lovely synergy between the fruit and tannins. The wine has hints of exotic spices and finishes fresh and lively.
