What a great Cabernet Merlot blend from Smith & Hooper! Sleek with great shape and balance, this is a ripping buy for $21.
Buckets of dark berries and plums drench the palate with dark chocolate, choc mint, dried sage and thyme. From Wrattonbully which is a stone's throw from the famed Coonawarra region, it drives long with an elongated finish highlighted by superfine tannins as it dries out slowly and ever so seductively. Great drinking and super buying hands down.
