Taylor Ferguson Merlot 2023 carlei-green-vineyards berries and light peppery spiceThe Taylor Ferguson Merlot grows on a plot on McGillivray Rd, not far from the Coonawarra township. Planted nearly 40 years ago, it provides some very bold and flavoursome fruit with brooding purple and blue berry flavours, backed by just a whisper of the regions signature peppermint patty character. This wine shows a great balance of intensity and elegance, with a medium body, soft tannins and complex, persistent finish.
