Hearts & Bones Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2018
About the wine
Top Shelf Cabernet Merlot from Stuart Pym
- We are whipping out the big guns and that starts with this show stopping Top Shelf Cabernet Merlot from Stuart Pym.
- The nose is rich and complex with fresh fruit impacts of lifted red and blue berries, damask plum and hints of cassis. This is all floating with subtle cedary notes from the French Oak.
- A rich lush wine of profound generosity, yet a retained sense of elegance with every sip. Mulberries, plums and blackberries enchant with every sip. The Merlot creates a perfect wine to drink now and combined with the Cabernet Sauvignon packs in tannins making it perfect to lay down for a few years too (if you can resist).
Best before
While this wine is a great drink now, especially due to the soft richness of the Merlot, it will age gracefully for at least 10 years. It is worth the effort.
Serving advice
Open this wine about 2 hours prior to drinking it. If possible, also decant it. This bit of air and patience, really allows the wines aromatics to lift, and the palate to come together. Its not easy being jammed away in a bottle for a few years, so it takes a little time to relax and show your best once you are allowed out.
Food match
dry roast Margaret River grass-fed beef fillet, with locally grown vegetables. The perfect Winters meal.
