KatnookCoonawarraMerlot South Australia
Description: Tasting Note Soft and ripe with concentrated, juicy plum and blackberry fruit spiced up by vanilla and cinnamon notes from the oak. Full-bodied and well-balanced with flavour to spare. 13.5% Wayne Stehbens and his team at Katnook are making something of a speciality of Merlot in Coonawarra. The region is already well known for its world class Cabernet, and as Bordeaux shows, where Cabernet thrives the chances are Merlot might do pretty well too. Ripe and rounded with fabulous depth of fruit and wonderfully smooth tannins this is a big, characterful wine that really shows Oz's potential for world class Merlot. A bit about Katnook Estate Although the present company was only founded in 1967, the Katnook area had been well known for grape growing since the mid-19th Century, when John Riddoch planted the first Coonawarra vines. In 1980, the arrival of winemaker Wayne Stehbens heralded a new era for Katnook when they began to bottle their own wines for the first time. Since then the company's reputation has rocketed with the wines now recognised as being among the very best in the region. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £96.67

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot South Australia
Description: The reputation of Wynns Coonawarra Estate stretches back four decades to 1951 when David Wynn recognised the potential quality of Coonawarra's wines. He purchased the original cellars built by John Riddoch in 1896 and began a winemaking legacy that continues to this day. The only blend in the range, Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot captures all the elegant fruit character that Coonawarra has to offer in a wine that drinks best while relatively young. The Cabernet provides flavour, length and structure; the Shiraz imparts a spicy complexity and richness, while the Merlot adds softness. The resulting red offers a rich balance of varietal characters in a smooth and approachable wine. Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon , Shiraz and Merlot . Oak Maturation: Matured for 10 months in a mix of new and used American and French oak barrels. Colour: Deep red with purple hues. Nose: Fragrant, leafy aromas with hints of mint and eucalyptus underlined with dusty oak. Palate: The palate is earthy and supple with soft, dark, berry fruit with a spicy finish and fresh aftertaste. This wine is made for current drinking, thus would only benefit from short-term cellaring. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £55.38
