CARGO ROAD WINES MERLOT 2022 (35 / Orange, NSW)
It opens with enticing aromas and flavours of currants, rhubarb and floral top notes channeling tomato leaves.
It is seductively smooth with a subtle tannin grip and palate warmth.
It's easily drinkable now but with some potential to continue pleasing over the next couple of years. An enjoyable winter-warmer.
