Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Balnaves Cabernet-Merlot is a deep red color with intense aromatics of blackberry, elderberry. Cassis fruit and toasty oak. The palate is medium bodied, showing soft plum and cassis fruit with warm spice from fine oak treatment and firm but fine grained tannins. A sense of austerity that will reward good cellaring.

Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot

Professional Ratings

93 Wine Spectator
Focused and expressive, layering the red berry, black plum, licorice and pumpkin pie notes with finesse and density. The flavors linger easily against moderate tannins. Drink now through 2022.
