About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Cabernet MerlotMargaret River, AustraliaCape Mentelle Trinders has elevated itself to being one of the true stars on the Western Australian Cabernet scene; both in terms of value and quality. The 2008 has a been resting in our climate controlled cellars, slowly gathering complexityh and flavour nuances. Still displaying those primary blackcurrant and liqueured cherry characters of its youth, the 2008 Trinders now shows the subtlety of age on its side with notes of earthen spice and bay leaf.

Medium bodied red wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Redcurrant, mulberry and plum with an aromatic regional dried herb perfume providing contrast to its warm chocolate and vanilla tones. It’s beautifully made, svelte and balanced, clearly defined and fitted out with the finest smooth powdery tannin. No complaints to be had of the length either. I’m giving it a bonus point for X-Factor. Thoroughly charming.

Good hue, although not particularly deep; continues the savoury/black olive/earthy/cedary style it has had since day one; has good length, texture and structure.
