Soho Revolver Merlot Blend 2021 (12 Bottles) Waiheke Island, New Zealand

The 2021 SOHO Revolver Merlot Blend, crafted by Pete Turner from Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand, is a bold and harmonious red that blends Merlot with Cabernet and Petit Verdot. Rich aromas of blackberry, mulberry, cedary spice and tobacco leaf unfold enticingly. The palate is medium-full-bodied and complex – dark fruit richness balanced with dried herb, graphite, and cedar nuances. Firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure, while a fine mineral seam adds lift through a long, savoury finish. Lightly oaked and carefully handled, it’s a wine of depth and balance. While formal scores are pending, it’s already celebrated for structure, elegance, and food-friendliness.
