Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot 2004
Fractionally stressed and herbal, this lightly tobaccoey merlot has a sweet, floral aroma of plums, red cherries and restrained vanilla oak. Initially smooth and supple, its slightly confectionary expression of plums, cherries and currants lacks genuine length of fruit, finishing with green-edged undertones.

Winery
Grant Burge
Since 2015 the Grant Burge label has been part of the Accolade Wines stable. A well-known Barossa brand with a collection of well-known reds headed by the Meshach Shiraz, it has become rather more expensive over recent years during which tie it has struggled to maintain consistency and quality.
