Curtis Family Vineyards Legion Merlot 2022
$35, 14% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.
This is tasty. It basically offers ripe plums flavours, pure and delicious, but it includes flavours of mulberry, orange peel, earth and vanilla, which means that it tastes good, for starters, but it also keeps you interested. In weight terms it’s about medium, which is a good place for a wine to be. The I want another glass factor here is high. 92 points.
