Two words come to mind when you mention great Australian Merlot. Jim Irivne. Jim's Grand Merlot is the benchmark of complex and elegant Merlot in Australia and his Eden Valley vineyards are the perfect place to produce this iconic wine.

The 2020 vintage of Chateau Puyblanquet from Bordeaux, France is a true expression of the terroir of the region. With a deep ruby red colour, this wine immediately catches the eye and invites you in for a taste. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries mingle with hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with smooth tannins and a balanced acidity. Flavours of dark fruit, including blackcurrants and blackberries, dominate the palate, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a satisfying warmth in the mouth. This 2020 vintage of Chateau Puyblanquet is a testament to the exceptional quality of the grapes and the skilled winemaking techniques of the château. A true delight for any wine lover.
