BLACK SWAN
Merlot
Australia
2002

 

We used grapes primarily from the Sunraysia district of South Eastern Australia in creating our 2002 Black Swan Merlot. This is a medium-bodied merlot that features bright, ripe cherry notes balanced by subtle toasted oak overtones and hints of vanilla. These well-balanced flavors give way to a surprisingly soft, clean finish that adds to the smoothness of the wine.
