Cabernet Merlot 2007
Wine Colour : Dark red with purple hues.
Wine Bouquet: Lifted aromas of plum, red berries, licorice and a hint of chocolate. Subtle spice, cedar and vanilla characters from oak maturation add to the complexity of the bouquet.
Wine Palate: This is a medium-bodied wine with soft, round and gloriously fleshy palate. Delicious flavours of ripe plum, red berries abound with subtle licorice and chocolate evident. The finish is clean and long with soft, elegant tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Suggested Food Matching: Lamb cutlets with garlic mash.
Critics Notes: "Lifted, aromatic, blackberry nose with a spicy lift. The soft palate is filled with bright berry flavours layered with tomato leaf characters". 3 Stars, Winestate magazine.
Cellaring Notes: Ready for immediate enjoyment however with careful cellaring will develop further to 2010, possibly longer.
