Locust Lane Reserve White Merlot Rosé 2020

This is a fresh, nectar of the gods that greets you with lifted aromas of red berry fruit – currants, strawberry and raspberry – with wisps of watermelon and apricot. It dazzles the palate with a full-Monty surge of gorgeous flavours of pure ambrosia. It showcases palate flavours of blood orange, ruby red grapefruit and aromatic bitters as well as excellent tang and acidity, persistent purity of fruit and flavour, deft balance, the Yin and Yang of sweet and tang, a boatload of charm and mouth-watering lengthy finish and aftertaste. What’s not to like. Pour on its own or with a deli platter or charcuterie. Pick up or order a few, you won’t be disappointed. Drink now. Score – 93. (Rick VanSickle, winecurrent.com, Oct. 27, 2021)
