The 2015 Clarendon Hills Merlot Brookman is a rich and beautifully matured McLaren Vale Merlot that combines generosity, structure and elegance. The nose is complex and inviting, showing layers of ripe plum, black cherry and dark berries alongside notes of cedar, cocoa, dried herbs and subtle earthy character developed through bottle age.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and a smooth, rounded texture, delivering plush dark fruit flavours balanced by savoury complexity and refined oak integration. The finish is long, soft and polished, showcasing both richness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent mature Merlot for customers who appreciate softer, elegant reds with depth and developed character. Fully enjoyable now and ideal for relaxed fine dining or special occasions. Perfect with roast duck, slow-cooked beef, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
