Critics Ratings

''Merlot-headlined blend - hence name - with Cabernet and Malbec (31/15). 05, from concentrated year, appropriately deeply perfumed, opulent and sweet-fruited; accessible but well-structured for longer term cellaring. Fr oak, 34% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*

The 2005 Series M has a perfumed, floral bouquet of dark cherries, pressed iris, a touch of cigar box and light minty scents. The fresh, vibrant palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, mint-infused black cherry and boysenberry fruit and a potent, spicy, white pepper finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.' - Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 92/100
