Cape Mentelle Wallcliffe Merlot Petit Verdot 2017

Wallcliffe red wines showcase these classic grape varietals synergised with the exceptional terroir. Each vintage is a celebration of the best and most original wines produced from the vineyard in a particular year. 

This first thing I thought, is this comes over almost like a wine from the Napa Valley. Black fruit, perfume, distinct whiff of baking spices, sage and sweet tobacco, floral perfume above. It’s dense and tightly-knit, melting chocolaty tannin of depth and carry, mocha and freshness of acidity, oak is certainly there, but as a frame of luxury in context of wine. Succulence and savoury things. Very long and firm to close. It’s a beautiful wine of generosity and precision. Nutty and chewy and so lovely to roll around the mouth. - 95 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
