Evans & Tate Redbrook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2017
Western Australia, AustraliaFrom their estate Wilyabrup vineyards, this cab underwent a cool, 10-day ferment, then direct to 300L French Hogshead barrels (20% new) for malolactic fermentation and 11 months of maturation. Ripe and dense with compact black fruit, espresso, tobacco, roasted root veg, housed by somewhat ragged tannins, and finishing with brown spices. This bigger, rustic red would benefit from partnering with roast beef and/or root vegetable.Tasted: 30 March 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $38.95 | 750ml | consignment |
