The 2017 Lenton Brae Cabernet Merlot from the Margaret River region in Western Australia is a classic blend known for its structured yet approachable style. This wine is crafted with a focus on highlighting the best characteristics of both grape varieties.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Deep ruby red.
• Aroma: The nose presents vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherries, and subtle hints of mint and eucalyptus, complemented by notes of cedar and tobacco.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied, the palate is rich with flavors of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, interwoven with fine tannins and a hint of oak. There are also elements of spice and chocolate, providing depth and complexity.
• Finish: Long and smooth, with a balanced acidity that enhances its fruit-forward character.

Pairing: This Cabernet Merlot pairs wonderfully with beef dishes, venison, and other rich, savory meats. It is also an excellent match for hearty casseroles and strong cheeses.
