Jen Pfeiffer The Diamond Merlot 2018
About the wine
Magnificent, barrel-aged Merlot with mouthfuls of deep, fruity elegance
- Boasting rich, full, mouthwatering berry flavors with a long, silky, refined finish, this Aussie jaw-dropper is what Jen likes to call “Merlot with muscle.”
- Jen brings you this red delight from some of the most prestigious vineyards in Victoria – her own! Blending top-notch Merlot from two of her family’s vineyards with fruit from a third impeccable vineyard in King Valley, Jen captured the ripest, juiciest flavors in all of Australia for this red.
- At least a year of aging in French oak barrels gave this Merlot the final touch of elegance to make it one of this vintage’s finest reds from Down Under. Grab yours while it lasts!
Best before
My Diamond Merlot is delicious as a young wine, but will reward careful cellaring for ten years until 2028.
Serving advice
I recommend opening (and decanting if possible) my Diamond Merlot approximately 2 hours prior to serving. The ideal serving temperature is 57-64°F (don't be afraid to chill it slightly in summer).
Food match
My Diamond Merlot is a wonderful partner to most savory foods, including your favorite Bolognese recipe or spiced lamb cutlets with roasted eggplant.
