Penfolds Merlot Rawson's Retreat 2017

"Rawson’s Retreat Merlot has delicious red and black berry fruit characteristics with lifted herbal and floral notes, all supported by subtle cedary oak. This delightful wine is best matched to pasta with tomato-based sauces or other Mediterranean inspired dishes."

This Merlot is a prime example, sourced from vineyards in South Australia that Penfolds has long relationships with. This wine shows sweet cola and blueberry aromas. The palate features fine texture with tangy berry fruit flavors.
