Mm, Merlot - Bordeaux?
Better yet Margaret River at its best!
Classic cool climate full, seamless Merlot with bounce and bang on in the ripe fruit department once again. Here is the exhibition of really good quality Merlot fruit full of dark plum and cherry and ominous in colour to boot!
Finesse and structure from softer tannins with medium oak combining beautifully to produce a fine chalky lip smacking wine that goes on and on and I cannot think of a better Merlot presently to have with some lovely ribbon pasta and beef cheek stew with crusty bread and arm mallee root log fire. Bring on winter and the best Merlot I have seen for a long while.
"A generous wine; cassis and blackcurrant flavours run through the supple medium-bodied palate; tannins fine, good oak. Screwcap. 13.5% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2020 $25.95 Date Tasted Jul 09" - James Halliday.
Chalice Bridge is located in the world renowned wine region of Margaret River, which can be found in the beautiful South West region of Western Australia, situated 272 kilometers south of Perth, the capital of Western Australia.
Chalice Bridge has established its 122 hectares of vines in an area known as Rosa Glen, which is approximately 16kms south-east of the Margaret River township. The Chalice Bridge name comes from the bridge over the Upper Chapman Brook, which runs through the middle of the vineyard. The actual name of this bridge is ‘Challis Bridge’, but was changed to the ‘Chalice’ spelling to incorporate the drinking vessel known as a ‘Chalice’.
Chalice Bridge is a multi-award winning vineyard that continues to produce and deliver quality fine wines to consumers in Australia and around the world. Chalice Bridge has received many favorable reviews from some of the most respected wine critics in Australia, along with exclusive awards from the top wine shows both in Australia and internationally.
