2021 Bella Terra Cabernet Merlot
Tasting Notes: Our Cabernet Merlot is all about consistency. Call it house wine, sipping wine or “cellar insurance”. A fruit forward, well-balanced medium body red that keeps your party going after you decided to stop sharing more of our reserve wines.
A cuvee of Cabernet and Merlot with only 3 months of oak aging, it shows great length and surprising power. There’s an elegance in term of freshness while the tannins are young and feisty. The nose is expressive and filled with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, leather, mint, fresh cut herbs and a hint of violet. On the palate, the flavours of red fruits like raspberry, red cherry, red currants, and a hint of pomegranate, with the addition of licorice, black berry and after-eight chocolates on the mid-palate. The finish is surprisingly long with lingering white pepper, giving this wine a solid Quality/Price ratio and making it a crowd pleaser.
Aging potential: Made to enjoy now and over the next 2 years.
Food Pairing: Grilled herb-crusted lamb chop with a balsamic reduction.
