Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2005
$90.00
Very stylish and shapely, presenting a lightly smoky expression of sweet berries, fresh vanilla/dark chocolate oak and undertones of dried herbs backed by very faint suggestions of mint and meatiness. Underpinned by firm, loose-knit dusty tannins, it’s long and harmonious, with brightly lit flavours culminating in a bittersweet finish. Tightly focused and finely balanced: a cellar style.

Wantirna Estate
Wantirna Estate's spotlessly crafted, elegant and fine-grained table wines typically reveal deeply scented perfumes of pristine fruit and fine-grained oak, before poised, supple and seamless palates of intensity and artful integration. The current releases are each of handsome gold medal standard Đ itself a real achievement. These are artisan wines of the highest order, but crafted with high levels of experience and technical expertise that give every chance to the vineyard to express its unique terroir. Delicate and restrained as they begin, it's fascinating to see Wantirna Estate's wine as it acquires more depth and expression with age.
