About The Wine

Deep Ruby, Purple in colour, this wine displays intense dark berry and vanilla pod with a hint of clove spice on the nose. The palate has very good fruit intensity of dark plum and cassis with well integrated oak. The wine has very fine tannins and a good length.

Comments From Wine Buyer Steve

Our company prides itself on dealing with some of the most awarded wineries in Australia. We find that these wineries put the most love and passion into their wines and the supplier of this McLaren Vale Earth & Barrel Cabernet Merlot 2021 is no exception. This great Cabernet Merlot has very good fruit intensity of dark plum and cassis with well-integrated oak. The wine has very fine tannins and a good length and has spent 12  months in French oak. Sensational value at $12.00 per bottle.

My Score 91/100 – WACC Silver Medal.

What is Cabernet Merlot  

Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are amongst the most popular red wine varieties in Australia and throughout the world. When blended together, they form a classic combination that is identified by breeding and distinction. According to a leading wine producer, the ideal blend of Cabernet Merlot is about 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot.

The blend is identified by a deep black colour and a bouquet that resembles a touch of soft chocolate, dark plum and violets. Among wine aficionados, it is considered to be one of the classic varietal combinations in the world of wine.
