[SOLD-OUT] Balnaves The Blend Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2013

Wine Front 92 points!
“Redcurrant, blackberry, coffee beans and black olive with fragrant herbs adding a little perfume. Medium bodied, clean, fresh and precise – delivers flavour without trying too hard – grainy silty tannin and a clean minerally finish of good length. Lovely claret style. Bargain.”
Gary Walsh, Wine Front, 2015

"Vintage 2013 was generally mild with one warm period. This produced outstanding Merlot (52%) from our Avery and Silage vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon (46%) from Walker, Avery and Quarry and Petit Verdot (2%) from Dunstan vineyard. These were combined and matured in French oak for 14 months. Dark red in colour, the nose is intense with aromas of mulberry, wild blackberry and liquorice combined with delicate smoky-coffee French oak. The palate is medium bodied with a soft round Merlot mouth- feel, black fruit flavours and a touch of dried herbs. This wine will reward careful cellaring, and decant before drinking."
