Margaret River Cab Merlot
The Woody Nook Cabernet Merlot of 2021 is a beautifully balanced Margaret River red blend that brings together the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the softness of Merlot in a classic, deeply satisfying Bordeaux style wine. Made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot & 10% Cabernet Franc, it opens with inviting aromas of blackcurrant, capsicum and cedary oak, giving the wine an immediate sense of depth and regional character. On the palate, cassis, blueberry and bright red fruit are supported by grainy tannins, balanced acidity and a gentle toasty oak influence that adds warmth and length. Medium to full bodied, it has the structure and composure that come from a wine built to cellar, while the years in bottle have helped it move into a lovely drinking window. Smooth, layered and very food friendly, this is a rewarding red for those who enjoy classic Margaret River blends with maturity and poise.
Accolades
Ray Jordan – 94 Points
A Bordeaux blend using largely cabernet sauvignon with merlot and cabernet franc. Cabernet provides the power and linear structure while the merlot adds palate filling and the franc that little lift of perfumed red fruit on the nose. Such a poised and well-balanced wine with bright red fruits working with slightly grainy sinewy tannins and a nice oak touch. Everything just seems to fit where it should here.
