Absolutely thrilled to share this beautiful review of our Duke Merlot 2024 by My Boozy Kitchen.
Described as dense, deep ruby red in the glass, this Merlot delivers layers of ripe plum, raspberry, warm oak spice and a savoury hint of smoky bacon rind - making it feel wonderfully wintery and complex.
On the palate, expect rich black cherry compote, cured meats, a delicate touch of chocolate and baking spice, supported by fine, granular tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is dry and lingering, with oak-kissed tart berry fruit.
“It’s balance, structure, and pure comfort in a glass.”
A heartfelt thank you to My Boozy Kitchen for the wonderful review and for capturing the character of this wine so beautifully.
Duke Merlot 2024 - made for slow-cooked meals, cosy evenings and winter comfort in every glass.
