Promised Land
Cabernet Merlot 2007
| Region: | South Australia |
This is a voluptuous, silky wine with plenty of blackcurrant and mint. The palate is mouth-filling and flavoursome with soft, velvety tannins.
Dark red with purple hues.
Wine Bouquet
Lifted aromas of plum, red berries, licorice and a hint of chocolate. Subtle spice, cedar and vanilla characters from oak maturation add to the complexity of the bouquet.
Wine Palate
This is a medium-bodied wine with soft, round and gloriously fleshy palate. Delicious flavours of ripe plum, red berries abound with subtle licorice and chocolate evident. The finish is clean and long with soft, elegant tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ready for immediate enjoyment however with careful cellaring will develop further to 2010, possibly longer.

Drink
You get plenty for a modest investment in this wine. Warm ripe chunky fruit with a soft suppleness that makes for very appealing current drinking. Has deep blackcurrant and light minty characters with some dark chocolate infusion. Great value.
