General: Continuing my tasting of red blends this winter, I picked up this wine as it is from the Mudgee region and I have not tried many wines from there
Varieties: Merlot 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Shiraz 30%
Region/G.I.: Central Ranges/Mudgee (NSW)
Alcohol: 13.7%
Bouquet: Complex. Plum jam and savoury spice and a touch of wood. Very pleasant to the nose
Flavour: Not as complex as the nose suggests. Dry with a good tannic finish holding this medium bodied wine together. Very little in terms of fruit flavour. Rather simple.
Points: 82
Notes: At $15 (254 Kc) from a wine shop it was a good drop. Plenty of choice in the market though, so it will be a while before I try this again
