Forester Estate 2008 Cabernet Merlot


Varieties: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc
Region/G.I.: Great South West, Margaret River
Vintage: 2008
Alcohol: 13%
Bouquet: Tobacco leaf and cedary aromas with hints of mulberry and clove
Flavour: Great length. A full mouth of fruit to start followed by brambly flavours with fine, tannins to finish. Well rounded and enjoyable. The only surprise is that there is a little more fruit in the initial taste than the nose suggests
Points: 86
Notes: $18.33 (~330 Kc) - a lovely treat early in the week
