A bold and expressive California red blend, the 2021 Mercury Head offers a rich and layered aromatic profile. The nose opens with concentrated blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, enhanced by hints of dark cherry, violet and mocha. Subtle spice, licorice and a touch of graphite add complexity and intrigue.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and plush, with a luscious core of dark fruit framed by ripe, velvety tannins and lively acidity. Flavours of dark chocolate, espresso bean and black pepper interplay with savoury herb notes, creating a wine of depth and dimension. Oak influence is noticeable yet well-integrated, contributing sweet spice and a creamy texture without dominating the fruit.
The finish is long, rich and persistent, with lingering layers of black fruit, spice and a soft mineral undertone. A confident, fruit-forward contemporary blend with character and presence.
