The 2006 Merlot Reserve is deep crimson-colored, the nose shows a hint of eucalyptus as well as cedar, cassis, and spice box. Intense on the palate, it has excellent balance, several years of aging potential, and a lengthy finish. Drink it from 2011 to 2020. The owner/winemaker of Gibson Wines is Rob Gibson who left Penfolds to start his own winery.Importer: The Country Vintner; www.countryvintner.com.au
