Woodlands “Margaret” Reserve Cabernet Merlot 2004

By Gary Walsh

Woodlands MargaretAfter tasting this wine Woodlands have now become a very large blip on my purchasing rader. So large that may face now has a sickly green glow. Well I think that must be the reason. Anyway, when you can buy wines of this quality (and Voyager Estate) for half the price of Cullen and Moss Wood, well quite frankly, they can shove it up their jumper!

Aromas of blackcurrant,mulberry, earth, tobacco and cedar oak. Touch of mint. A beautiful smelling wine. On the palate flavours of blackcurrant, dark tobacco and dark chocolate supported by just the right amount of cedary oak. Fine grained tannins. Style. Balance. Length. Nothing out of place. I’m going to be all over this wine like a fat kid on a chocolate cake.
