A terroir selection, the flagship 2017 Profile offers a classic nose of ripe blackcurrants, scorched earth, tobacco, cedar, and dried spices. This carries to an elegant, beautifully balanced 2017 with plenty of mid-palate depth, building yet polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic, more savory, nuanced 2017 that will evolve for two decades.

The 2017 Profile is another impressive wine from Merryvale. Pliant, supple and super-expressive, the 2017 has a lot to offer. Plush contours and ripe, racy fruit add to the wine's distinctly flamboyant personality.

This is an estate-grown blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon that was given 23 months in French oak, 80% of it new. Thick and powerfully muscular, it offers hearty, full-bodied layers of leather, gun smoke and black currant, with well-integrated tannin and oak. It is both complex and immensely appealing.
