2020 Evans & Tate Redbrook Estate Cabernet Merlot

Rich and amply weighted with some grip and firmness to the long, generously fruited finish.

Dense midnight black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Intense blackcurrant and black olive aromas are complimented by cigar box, earth and bay leaf notes. Rich blackcurrant and liquorice fruits flood the mouth carrying with them ample weight. Cigar box, earthy black olive and infusions of bay leaf engage the back half. Sturdy yet integrated tannins impart some grip and firmness onto the long, generously fruited finish. Drink by 2040.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
While cabernet sauvignon and merlot are stamped on the label, apparently cabernet franc and malbec are in the mix, percentages unknown even if the latter adds lots of its positive attributes to the wine. A dark red/inky hue laden with mulberries, plums, cassis and a baker’s cupboard full of spices with wafts of tobacco, menthol/eucalyptus. Full bodied and densely packed with flavour and no shortage of structure or tannins. If you imagine being at a rave, this wine is the DJ mixing it right up. Drink by 2040.
