In just a few short decades, the Taylor family have etched out a formidable reputation for producing high quality wine from their Clare Valley vineyards. This textbook Merlot captures the varietal characters of berries, fruitcake and velvety tannins. The judicious use of French and American oak adds mocha and vanilla softens and rounds the palate.

5th Generation Merlot is a ruby red coloured wine. Its nose gives off lifted aromas of dark cherries, red berries and lavender supported by spice and vanilla nuances. The ripe and full bodied palate is filled with blackberry and plum flavours integrated with plush tannins, leading to a delicate and lengthy finale. The cellaring potential of this wine is about 5 years. It matches well with pasta and red meat dishes.

A fresh contemporary style of Merlot from Jacob's Creek produces a luscious medium bodied wine that has ripe plum and berry fruit flavours in harmony with soft grape and oak tannins giving length and texture.

This Merlot blends the craftsmanship of California winemaking with the exotic tradition of dark rum barrel aging, resulting in an incredibly bold sensory expression. Dark ruby red in colour, this wine opens up with aromas and flavours of ripe black cherry and raspberry. Aging select lots in rum barrels enhances the notes of baking spice, brown sugar, vanilla, and cocoa when added to the final blend. Dark chocolate notes carry through to a long, lush finish. A superb accompaniment to spiced meats and poultry, brie with fig jam, and chocolate desserts.
