2001 Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

An outstanding wine made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Superb perfumed nose of violets, blackcurrant, mulberry, spice and cedar. A classic Petaluma. The palate flavours reflect the subtlety and refinement that the Cabernet grapes are capable of delivering when fully ripened. Flavours of blackcurrant, cedar and cigar box supported by velvet smooth tannins – perfect balance. Very long aftertaste of blackcurrant, mulberry, cedar and spice.
