Hesketh Dangerous Type Merlot 2022 is defined by silky texture and fruit generosity. Rather than firm structure or weight, it offers a smooth, flowing palate with ripe dark fruit and refined softness. Gentle oak maturation adds polish and depth, enhancing complexity while preserving approachability.
This is a Merlot built for immediate enjoyment — supple, expressive and dangerously easy to love.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with vibrant clarity. The nose opens with ripe plum, black cherry and dark berry compote, layered with subtle cocoa, vanilla and gentle spice.
On the palate, the wine is plush and smooth. Juicy dark fruit flows across a rounded frame, supported by soft, velvety tannins. Hints of mocha and delicate oak spice add dimension without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is supple, lingering and beautifully balanced.
Food Pairing
This Merlot pairs effortlessly with roast chicken, grilled steak, lamb dishes and rich pasta. Its silky tannins and fruit-forward character also complement mushroom risotto, barbecue plates and semi-hard cheeses, making it a versatile partner from casual dining to relaxed evenings.
