Mischa Wine Information

Mischa Estate Merlot 2002

Winemaker's comments

A delicate nose of strawberry and cream, touches of cherry and chocolate with hints of cinnamon and spice. A well-fruited, crisp palate with well structured tannins that promise excellent aging potential. Matured for 12 months in selected tight grain French oak barrels. This wine should start showing it ??s potential in it ??s 6 th year and develop well past its 12 th year.
