Snake + HerringStranded Cabernet Sauvignon + Merlot 2017
About this product
The 2017 Stranded Cabernet Merlot has gentle dried herb and roast tomato complexity underlying the varietal blackberry and dark plum scents. The palate has richness and softness through the mid with some subtle spicy oak notes and drives through the finish with gentle finely layered tannins. Texturally we are looking for generosity and warmth with a mix of sweet darker fruit and chocolate with a slight savoury edge.

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.
