Description

Surplus Cellar Stocks CLEARING at a Windfall price of $29.99. 2020 was a generational quality vintage and this VM Reserve Cabernet Merlot with its 5 x 95/100 ratings and basket of 4 Gold Medals underpins that. Low yields of handpicked fruit off Villa Maria’s crème de la crème Gimblett Gravel’s vineyards, extended maceration on skins + aging in expensive French Oak barriques. Beautifully crafted Cabernet Merlot off a superior quality vintage. Get it in the glass and its generosity, structure, ripeness, and power are absolute confirmation. The beautifully warm 2020 vintage provided Cabernet and Merlot grapes superb conditions for ripening in the Gimblett Gravel’s. It meant the grapes were harvested earlier in excellent condition under welcome blue skies. This resulted in ripe, robust red wines with great ageing potential.

Smells

Red and black fruits waft from the glass with crushed herbs, cedar and spices lining up behind.

Tastes

Classic Cabernet flavours dominate the palate, blackcurrant, berries, and savoury dried herbs. Lovely ripe Merlot adds plum, spice and plushness to the mid palate while the overall wine is totally composed with plenty of length. The fine grain tannins are instantly engaging and interwoven throughout the rich core of fruit. Showing lovely richness and charm at 5-years of age… decant this beauty just 30-minutes before serving. Keep a few bottles to enjoy through 2030+.
