Composed of 95% Merlot and 5% Shiraz, the 2010 Terra Barossa Merlot reveals a deep garnet-purple color and notes of warm plums, blackberries and cloves with a hint of mocha. Very full bodied, it has a good concentration of plum preserve and baking spice flavors with a medium level of soft tannins to lend texture and medium-high, balanced acidity. The finish is medium-long and a little warm. Drink it now through 2014. Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, Virginia.
