NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Woodlands Wilyabrup Valley Cabernet - Merlot is a well-balanced blend of two classic varieties.Its aroma is a mix of blackberry, dark cherry, and a hint of anise. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and fresh, with a core of dark berry fruits, a touch of cassis, and a hint of spice. The tannins are well-structured and the finish is lengthy and elegant. An outstanding example of the Margaret River region.
