PlumpJack Winery Merlot 2021

94 Points The Wine Independent

The 2021 Merlot, with 2% Malbec in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of juicy blueberries, fresh blackberries, and plum preserves give way to nuances of clove oil and star anise. The full-bodied palate is rich and velvety, with a lively line cutting through the dense blue fruits, finishing with a spicy kick.
