"Performing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, the 2002 Merlot Brookman Vineyard offers complex aromas of sweet espresso roast, black cherries, and white chocolate. This is a thick, juicy Merlot with plenty of structure and tannin as well as considerable intensity and impressive volume. It may be the finest Merlot ever produced in Australia. It will drink well for 10-15 years."

The color is medium dark red with the hue extending all the way to the rim, indicative of its youth. Merlot is a very pretty wine. The fruit flavors of a typical example of this variety could be described as cherries and plums combined with the lifted fragrance of rose petals. These are the exact characters present in this wine. Add to this mixture plenty of toast and vanilla from new oak and you have a complex mixture of flavors, both delicate and powerful.
