Sandy Farm Cabernet Merlot 2004 - Recommended

Dark blood red in colour, no fading at the rim. Soft nose, lifted cabernet notes of blackberry and a underlying herbal edge. Attractive and very text book for the style. Ripe fruits run through the palate, more blackberry, but also a sliver of acid keeps the wine a little tighter than the nose suggests. Drinks very well now given the mild tannin presence but should continue to look the goods over the next 2 – 3 years.
