Bird in Hand 2009 Two in the Bush Merlot Cabernet



Varieties: Merl0t 65%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35%

Region/G.I.: Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills

Alcohol: 14.5%

Bouquet: Very restrained nose. If aired and aired, there are hints of ripe Satsuma plums

Flavour: What this wine lacks in bouquet it more than compensates with an excellent flavour. Fantastic length with soft tannins in the tail. Lovely dryiness accompanies the blackcurrant fruit on the tongue. A touch of dark spice as well. A well integrated wine.

Points: 84

Notes: From the wine club at $12.57 (~226 Kc). Will look to add a couple of bottles to the cellar
