description: As you might surmise from the name, Merlot plays a dominant role in this reasonably priced blend from Western Australia. Cassis, tobacco and savory spice notes add up to an enjoyably complex wine that's just a bit coarsely textured and probably not for long-term aging. The stats: 53% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Merlimont
