The red wine Esk Valley Great Dirt River Gravels Merlot, Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2019 from the winery Esk Valley has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Merlot
Blackberry, cinnamon, a lactic note, a touch of elderberry and tar make for a most vivid nose. The palate follows suit, setting this pure, aromatic fruit into scene. This is wonderfully sophisticated with the crunch of finest tannin, absolute concentration and stunning poise. This has it all, above all freshness that allows the pristine fruit to shine in every aromatic nuance. Gorgeous.
