2002 Limestone Coast Cabernet Merlot

Wine Spectator (April 30, 2005 )
"Firm, with chewy tannins and lively acidity around a core of smoky black pepper and berry flavors."

 

Quarterly Review of Wines (Winter 2004 - Winter 2005)
"The 2002 red wine vintage was very fine in Australia... Mild to assertive tannins are expected. Blueberry, spice from the Merlot join with oak, cherry and chocolate notes. Delicious."

 

Fond du Lac, WI Reporter (February 7, 2006)
"Flavors of plums, cherries, currants and spice. The Merlot softened some of the Cabernet's harsher edges and made it drinkable now." - Frank & Kate Sutherland

 

East Valley Tribune (December 14, 2005)
"There are still good values Down Under, and wines from "The Shark" offer a good value-to-equality proposition. This wine tastes a lot bigger than its price. It has ripe and bright red fruit and spice, but silky tannins that make it easy to drink. Like its cedar highlights, too." - Mark Nothaft
