2019 Thorn-Clarke Sandpiper Merlot, Barossa Valley

Light crimson with aromas of plum, mulberry and red cherry fruits along with hints of baking spice, purple flowers, wakame, red licorice, coffee grounds, sage and earth. There is a sheen of musky perfume in the mouth, savoury fruit, gentle tannins and a red-fruited flow on the finish.

Deep red with purple hues.  The nose shows aromas of lifted red plums and five spice with dark cherry notes.  The palate is mid weight and juicy with plush, soft tannins.  It shows a lively red fruit profile with savoury tones adding restraint and elegance to the finish.
