The Esk Valley Winemakers Reserve Merlot Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 is a deeply flavorful red wine from New Zealand. This red shows layers of rich fruit flavor on the nose and palate. It is not one to be missed. Aromas of black fruit, cherries, spice, and smoke waft to the nose. On tasting, the wine tends toward Merlot flavors, with notes of fruitcake, cherry, chocolate, and oak spice. The texture of the wine is elegant and smooth, with a finish that is long and dry.
