Pettavel Estate Merlot Cabernet 2019

This is a medium-bodied but intensely flavoured combination of Merlot and Cabernet from the Yarra Valley. Honey, blackcurrant, and slightly stewy fruit combinations on the nose, with a palate that has a slightly earthy sweet fruit character, supported with a light touch of oak and very fine tannins. For me, it’s drinking right where I’d like it now, although there is potential to cellar it further.
