Wine by Brad 2009 Brad Cabernet Merlot

Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot (split not available. Assumed to be roughly equal)
Region/G.I.: South West Australia, South West Australia
Vintage: 2009
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Garnet
Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Eucalypt, tobacco leaf
Flavour: Not much in the body; actually quite weak. Some decent plummy fruit in the mid palate but not much of an ending. A small tingle of tannin.
Points: 82 (3+7+10+6+6+50)
Notes: An OK wine. Having enjoyed some lovely Cab Savs recently, this was ordinary in comparison. I tried the 2008 vintage a year and a half ago and liked it more. $18 (~350 Kc). I'd probably look elsewhere.
