Shop Review: A combination of two international grape varieties, Merlot and Cabernet, with unique blending properties. These two varieties were made to be blended, and each one brings all the right notes for a high quality red wine. The grapes are macerated for around 7 days, during which the colour and all the elements that make up the wine are extracted. The subsequent 9-month fining process in steel tanks brings out the notes of the two grape varieties.
Wine Folly: Merlot (p131) - cherry, plum, chocolate, dry herbs, vanilla
Black cherry flavors, supple tannins, smokey or chocolatey finish
Cabernet pg88 black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, graphite
I could taste the herbiness from the merlot as well as the smokey finish, it was a very dry wine. From the cabernet, I could taste the dark fruit flavors but it was not sweet and the graphite came through.
Personal Review: This wine was nothing special to me. Similar to the Pizza Lovers white wine, the flavors were not the best. It had an average fruit flavor and the tannins were light. Overall not much complexity to the wine.
