Woodlands
Cabernet Merlot
Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Amazing quality for Woodlands 3rd best Cabernet which was approx $20+ from the great 2009 vintage. Herbaceous Cab notes rounded out by balancing soft Merlot notes to fill out the palate nicely. Drink now 17+.

Very good. Light start and then full body towards the end

AU$36 strawberry scent, reddish and pinkish hue on colour. Strawberry flavour with medium tannin and an ash finish. Light to medium body with dry finish. Just not a fan of the ash finish.

Classic cassis and currant with touch of blueberry. A bit of greenness woven in with spicy black fruit.
