About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Cabernet MerlotMargaret River, AustraliaStill family owned and operated by the Watson family, Woodlands produce some of Margaret River's greatest and flavour rich wines. Here we have tucked away their 2008 Cabernet Merlot for a few years and have released it to you at its optimum drinking. Aromas and flavours of bay leaf, cedar, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and espresso coffee all come to mind. The fruit flavours are matched with a sublime structure of acid and tannin. A must have for the price.

Good crimson colour; an elegant medium-bodied wine with an interplay between finely drawn fruit flavours and a background flourish of cedary oak; the finish is long and savoury.

Reserved bouquet of cedar and tobacco leaf oak aromas, light cassis, touch of eucalypt. Has a cool, tight and restrained feel with medium-bodied weight and satiny texture. Great length of flavour, trim and fine boned. Elegance here. Nice wine.
