To be honest I had almost given up on Australian merlots until someone I know told me they all come from one of three regions of Australia. I figured I’d give it a shot. I wasn’t dissappointed.
This south-eastern regional merlot was not too dry and held the flavor of plums and oak. The estate has been around since 1877 and has seen six generations of wine makers.
This is certainly a good alternate to Yellow Tail when bringing to a host’s house. It seems all too often that a bottle with a bright or eye-catching label gets bought before a much better wine at the same price point. And if that person I know is right, there really is a difference in Aussie wines.
McWilliams is a wine I would not be embarrassed to bring over to a friends because it doesn’t have a cool name.
