About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Merlot Cabernet Cabernet FrancIndependent wineryThis wine by Picardy is predominantly Merlot with the balance made up of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The Merlot is certainly no slouch; with full, ripe, red berry and plum characters balanced by touches of black fruit, spice, dried leaf and char from the Cabernets.
This wine by Picardy is predominantly Merlot with the balance made up of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The Merlot is certainly no slouch; with full, ripe, red berry and plum characters balanced by touches of black fruit, spice, dried leaf and char from the Cabernets.
Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Deepish red/purple colour, with a mulberry, smoke and dried herb aroma, the palate lean and light on flavour, lacking fresh vibrant fruit. Mouthwatering acidity. Lean and ungenerous. In one sense, its lightness is a pleasant relief from the many overbuilt wines - but it is short and lacks depth.
