Cabernet Blend September 15, 2012
2009 Buller King Valley Cabernet Merlot
Wine Rating
 
89
A mid to deep red in colour, the nose shows dusty cassis, sweeter plum fruit and smoked meats.

The palate is savoury from start to finish with a drying tannin structure that fills the mouth and demands time in the cellar. The wine has a focus on dark berry fruits , with some slight raisin character and spice.

The finish is long and drying with savoury blackcurrant lingering.
