2016 Balnaves Cabernet Merlot 750ml

55% cabernet sauvignon, 45% merlot. Matured in new (30%) and seasoned French oak. A smooth outcome courtesy of nicely textural merlot fruit boasting the prettiest florals. Strikingly dense purple-garnet hue. Bright juniper berry, cassis notes with the aforementioned roses, violets, potpourri. Melds nicely on the palate with tight-grained oak and highlights of garden mint.
