The 2005 wines show generous and concentrated fruit and this Merlot is a great example with its flavors of plum, spice & cinnamon. This wine was 100% barrel fermented in new and 1 year old oak (20% French, 80% American oak.) and barrel matured for 12 months. It is smooth & elegant with a plump textural palate. The 2005 Marquis Philips Merlot again shows the big Australian flavors its known for.

"There is an ocean of insipid Merlot in the marketplace, but Marquis Philip’s $15 Merlot is as good as most $50-60 California Merlots. The 2005 (100% Merlot aged in new and one year old American and French oak for 12 months) displays a deep ruby/purple color along with plenty of mocha, cocoa, and sweet cherries, a lush texture, and real opulence as well as flesh. Drink it over the next 2-3 years." -Rated 89, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
