Bream Creek Cab Merlot is a cool-climate Tasmanian red blend from Bream Creek Winery. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, with Merlot adding softness and fruit depth. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity, fine tannins, and restrained oak. Aromas lean toward blackcurrant and plum, with subtle tobacco and cedar hints. The palate delivers dark fruit, a savory edge, and a polished finish. A versatile, food-friendly wine that drinks well upon release and can age gracefully for a few years.
