Castelli Estate Silver Series Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020

The fruit here comes from both the Frankland River and Margaret River regions. The cepage is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot. A lovely crimson/garnet hue, the nose offers a lovely array of characters – dry herbs, cloves, chocolate, warm earth, black fruits, coffee grinds and tobacco leaves. This is very much a savoury style. Soft cherry notes open the palate and the other flavours flow on to a gentle and appealing texture. This is well structured with moderate length and fine tannins. Attractive now and for at least the next six years.
