West Cape Howe Cabernet Merlot

A great example of these two classic varieties from W.A.’s cooler vineyard sites, our Cabernet Merlot has ripe berry and blackcurrant fruit flavours beautifully balanced by Frenck oak characters and moderate tannins. After closely monitoring ripening, Cabernet and Merlot grapes were harvested at optimum flavour ripeness 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot Aromatic dark berry fruits with dense plum fruit aromas and attractive smoky oak characters. Has delicious fresh berry fruit flavours of blackberry & mulberry; the good depth of these fruit flavours are complemented by the slightly ‘chewy’ and lightly drying tannins and gentle acidity which combine to give our Cabernet Merlot it’s good length of flavour. Enjoy now or even more so after a couple of years in the cellar.
