Jeir Creek 2009 Cabernet Merlot

Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (split unknown)
Region/G.I.: Southern NSW, Canberra District
Vintage: 2009
Alcohol: 13.9%
Bouquet: Dark chocolate syrup, plum and a hint of vanilla
Flavour: Drying tannins dominate mid palate and a full body of fruit (more toward blueberry than the plum in the nose). The acidity in this wine is a little high making the wine slightly aggressive overall
Points: 83
Notes: Part of a recent mixed case. $15.82 (~284 Kc). This continues my experience of not finding excellent Cab/Merlot blends from Australia's cool climate regions.
