Visual Review

Visually, Raaya Merlot exhibits a ruby hue and appears a bit opaque.

Aroma Review

On the nose, the aroma intensity is light, with dominant notes of leather and plum, accompanied by a subtle hint of chocolate and dried fruits. This wine benefits significantly from aeration, needing at least an hour to breathe, which helps to fully release its aromatic profile.

Taste Review

In terms of taste, it strikes a medium acidity balanced by high alcohol content, giving it a warm sensation. The tannins are light, contributing to a high viscosity and a predominantly dry character.

Flavor-wise, it delivers strong tones of green capsicum and hay, underlining its earthy nature.

The texture is pleasantly soft and tannic, though it is marred slightly by a strong, somewhat unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Nonetheless, Raaya Merlot has a decent length, lingering enough to be memorable..
