Balnaves The Blend 2006

By Gary Walsh

Balnaves The BlendI think this is a much better wine than the more expensive Cabernet Merlot. It’s something of a bargain too.

It smells of blackberry and raspberry, vanilla custard, a bit of dark chocolate, play-doh, licorice and gum leaf. On the palate medium to full bodied with a delightful mix of berries, cedar and chocolate. Distinctly bright acidity, powdery tannins and an abundance of flavour presented with freshness and finesse complete the package. Lovely wine and a snip at the price.
