Geoff Merrill Parham Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (6 Bottles) McLaren Vale

Geoff Merrill Parham Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Geoff Merrill Wines, McLaren Vale / Coonawarra is a brooding and luxurious Cabernet, built for cellaring. The aroma opens with dark chocolate, roast beetroot, black olive, mint and licorice, with savoury meatiness creeping in alongside fresh herbal lift. On the palate there’s intense concentration: dark blue fruits, black cherry and olive flavours, firm yet ripe tannins, tight acidity and oak that gives mocha‑cedar depth. Critics have lauded it: 97 points from Sam Kim (Wine Orbit), 96 points from James Halliday, also 96 from Hooke.
