Woody Nook Wines Cabernet Merlot 2023
Tasting Notes
This wine is a classic Margaret River blend consisting of 81.5% Cabernets & 18.5% Merlot. It has a rich bouquet combining blackberry and bell pepper aromas. The palate is medium bodied with plum and blackcurrant flavours enhanced by maturation in French oak barriques (9% new). The soft tannins, fruit sweetness and finely balanced acidity provide a delightful wine for everyday drinking!
