title: Eppalock Ridge 2004 Cabernet Merlot (Heathcote)
description: There's a hint of sur-maturité to this wine's cassis flavors, giving it a chocolate and dried-fruit character to go with hints of eucalyptus. That ripeness gives it a rich, soft, warm character that makes it instantly approachable. Drink now-2012 or so.
variety: Cabernet Merlot
