2005 Sutton Grange Winery Estate Fairbank Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. Totally opaque black dark crimson red colour with deep dark red hue. Exhibiting lifted scents of blackcurrant intermixed with leather followed by some cedar, cigar box like characters and spice the nose shows good intensity. On the palate blackcurrant flavours are followed by some earthy cedar and spice with a leathery back palate. Dry still quite firmish tannins give the wine a chewy mouthfeel. Aftertaste of blackcurrant, leather and earthy cedar.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
