Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (30%)
Region/G.I.: Southwest Australia, Margaret River (WA)
Vintage: 2009
Alcohol: 14.4%
Bouquet: Dried leaves/leafy but definitely not in a green way, some brambly aromas as well.Hints of vanilla in the background. No fruit aromas.
Flavour: Ripe plum fruit with lots of sweet spice flavours (cinnamon, a little clove) and vanilla. Good medium-to-full bodied with cleansing, gentle tannins. A very tasty wine
Points: 84
Notes: This wine is a beauty. Having tasted the last of the Saddler's Cab Sav earlier in the evening, I would only note that it lacks the elegance of that wine which probably should have been scored an extra point higher. Still, this wine was $14.57 (~265 Kc) and seriously enjoyable
