BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2002
Jeremy’s score 89/100Minty, herbal and dusty aromas of small black and red berries, cedar/vanilla oak, over herbal, menthol-like undertones. Smooth, soft and integrated, with slightly confectionary blackberry, dark cherry and raspberry fruit overlying nuances of herbs and sweet oak. Good tightness and balance.

BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2003
Jeremy’s score 85/100While there’s a distinctively grassy and greenish, almost geranium-like aspect about this wine’s intense cassis and mulberry aromas, the palate reveals more ripeness and structure. A pleasing expression of dark cherry merlot adds flesh and richness, while the tannins remain slightly sappy and the oak a little cardboady.

BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2004
Jeremy’s score 90/100Effortlessly natural and stable, this fine, elegant and very varietal cabernet has a dusty, lightly herbal fragrance of cassis, blackberries and dark plums backed by fresh cedary oak and undertones of violets, mint and menthol. Smooth and elegant, its tightly focused fruit, oak and silky tannins culminate in a charming and vibrant finish.

BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2005
Jeremy’s score 89/100Rather simple at present, this fine effort from a hot year should flesh out well in the bottle. Its meaty, earthy flavours of plums, blackberries and currants and slightly overt vanilla/cedar/dark chocolate oak reveal minty, iodide-like undertones. It’s smooth but assertively structured, with layers of persistent black-fruited flavour and assertive oak finishing with length and polish.

BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2006
Jeremy’s score 88/100Firm, ripe and approachable, this minty young blend marries bright flavours of cassis and dark plums with cedar/vanilla/chocolate oak and a crunchy extract of fine tannin. Quite long and vibrant, it delivers a genuine structure and regional menthol-like character.

BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2007
Jeremy’s score 89/100 -
BlackJack Cabernet Merlot 2008
Jeremy’s score 90/100A typical central Victorian cabernet with a future. Its fresh, briary aromas of cassis, dark plums and violets are lifted by scent of mint, eucalypt and cedar/vanilla oak, while its long, dark-fruited palate of intense berry/cherry flavour is supported by fine, approachable tannins, finishing with genuine persistence and fresh acidity.
