🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson red with vibrant purple hues, bright and youthful in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Fragrant and lifted, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum with hints of cassis, violets, graphite and subtle spice. Gentle herbal notes of sage and vine leaf add complexity.

👅 Palate
Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, delivering vibrant black and blue fruits with layers of blackberry, cassis and plum. The palate is fresh, supple and energetic with excellent fruit purity and subtle savoury complexity.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine-grained tannins provide structure while remaining silky and approachable. The finish is smooth, fresh and persistent with lingering dark berry fruit, spice and a refined earthy edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern cool-climate Cabernet Merlot showing elegance, freshness and drinkability rather than heavy weight. Stylish and refined with classic Yarra Valley poise and excellent balance.

Perfect with roast lamb, grilled steak, pasta dishes, mushroom risotto and hard cheeses. Also excellent with slow-cooked beef or chargrilled vegetables.

🍷 BBD Verdict
A polished and versatile Yarra Valley Cabernet Merlot offering vibrant fruit, fine structure and excellent value. An easy-drinking but classy red that comfortably suits both casual dining and more serious occasions.
