Merricks Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 is a cool-climate Mornington Peninsula red that wears its structure with confidence. The vintage delivers dark fruit, refined oak integration, and lively acidity, resulting in a wine with depth and aging potential. A solid match for grilled beef, lamb, or aged cheeses.
Tasting notes:
- Aroma: Blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite/pencil lead, cedar, with a touch of tobacco.
- Palate: Medium-full body; firm, velvety tannins; flavors of black cherry, cassis, and dark plum; subtle espresso and vanilla from French oak; crisp, persistent acidity.
- Finish: Long, polished, with spice and mineral notes lingering into the aftertaste.
