Cape Mentelle
Trinders Vineyard Cabernet Merlot
Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
2004 vintage - tasted over 2 nights - great Cabernet nose with eucalyptus & herbs - first taste was a bit brutal, though second night showed a well rounded & integrated Cab Merlot - overall, pretty good!

As a 2nd or 3rd string Margaret River Cab or Cab blend not in the top echelon. I love the Cape M flagship but the 2012 Trinders showed under ripe green Cab flavours with some bitterness. Not in the same league as the Voyager Girt by Sea or the Woodlands Cab Merlot. All for the same price of approx $20 to $25. 16 points.

Australien Bordeaux style. Earthy, leathery on the nose, fruit on the palate; plum. Full bodied, complex and spicy. Long lingering flavor. Just past it's peak. Great value.
Rounder, fuller and better the next day.
