Melka Estates Red Mekerra 2015

  The aromatics are distinctive for the varietals - fig jam, dried violet, cedar, black pepper, lavender and red currant fruits.  Big, sumptuous and very concentrated, this wine is opulent without being heavy.  It finishes long with unexpected freshness. 

The nose is pretty and highly perfumed with rose petals, red currant jelly, red raspberry cordial and Christmas spice. The palate shows wonderful viscosity and tension, showing a really nice range of fruits from blue to dark to red fruits. The fruit weight her his marvelous as dark cherry, red raspberry cordial, and blueberry compote flavors with smoky undertones. There is is wonderful purity of fruit here. This is a complete wine that has a long time in the cellar.
