Lauren Langfield Norton Summit Merlot 2021
Regular price $37.00
40% whole bunches. The aim here was to “really push for bright fruit and floral notes”.
This is a crunchy red wine with a fair bit going on. It also offers a fair body of flavour. There are ample twig, spice and leaf notes strewn through the wine, almost but not quite to the point of hardness, though berried fruit keeps things rolling attractively along. This is a wine that definitely responds well to air; I had my doubts at first but as it breathed I swung entirely around to its view. It’s a good wine. Lively, crunchy, generous and strict at once. - The Wine Front
