Mills Reef Reserve Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Merlot 2016

3 June 2020By Yvonne
Mills Reef Reserve Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Merlot 2016Yvonne2020-06-03T20:40:42+12:00

Mills Reef Reserve Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Merlot 2016 $24

Re-tasted on June 3rd 2020, this vintage (if you still have it in your cellar or spot one in a shop) is drinking rather superbly.  Lashings of plum, chocolate, cherry and berry characters lead to soft, suede-like textures, warm, velvety notes and a long, smooth finish.  Yum!
