Comments and Tasting Notes:

"Robert Johnson Vineyards was established with the purchase in 1996 of a 30 acre /12.15 hectare vineyard and olive grove in the Eden Valley region. The first merlot was produced in 1997. Eden Valley is located in the Barossa Ranges approximately 15 kilometres south of Angaston. The vineyard is relatively high in altitude ranging from 395 to 405 metres. This altitude assists in maintaining cooler temperatures during the ripening period resulting in greater flavour development. The vineyard originally consisted of one acre of merlot grapes and 12 acres of Olive trees in need of repair. Since 1996 there has been a 3 acres of merlot planted along with 5.2 acres of shiraz and 0.4 acres of viognier and the olives are now productive. Currently the vineyard is undergoing the final stages of development with 1.4 acres to be planted. In October 1998, the one acre of merlot was severely damaged by 'black frost' and the entire 1999 vintage was lost. As a result merlot was purchased from long time friend and fellow grower Sam Virgara. The wine produced was named after my vigneron parents who had 38 acres of grapes at Blewitt Springs in the McLaren vale district. The vineyard was where our family spent weekends throughout the year working the vineyard and orchards of hundreds of fruit trees. A winery has since been established at the Old Woollen Mills in the Adelaide Hills town of Lobethal and cellar door facilities will be operational in Spring 2009. " - winery notes

"Beautiful vibrant mid to deep red in colour. The nose has bright fruit characters with some roasted spice oak nuances in the background with some savoury edge. The palate has fruit richness from the merlot; structure from the cabernet sauvignon and bright notes from the sangiovese. There is balance and harmony with savoury tannins and lingering drying acidity." (eastend cellars notes)
