2005 Wynns Coonawarra Estate

Cabernet Shiraz Merlot

With so many wineries in Australia, sometimes it is easy to overlook your old favourites.  So if you have not had a bottle of Wynns in a while, I urge you to revisit the brand as the quality is as solid as ever.  An ever reliable drop is their Cabernet Shiraz Merlot.  Being a blend of three classic varieties, it has an even harmonious palate with red berries, some subtle spice and a hint of freshly crushed leaves.  It has a traditional structure and the gently drying tannins make it a great partner to roast lamb.  Buy a few bottles to drink now and a few to cellar for the future.

Available from good wine stores.

Price: $19.00
