2011 Forester Estate Cabernet Merlot

forester cab merlotA blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

Smells much like these sort of blends from the Margaret River generally do. Bay leaf, raspberry, bitumen and blackcurrant. So far so good. It gets lost in translation on the palate though, where it is wishy washy and lacking a sense of conviction. No real intensity of flavour and a distinct absence of reach through the back-palate. Go the Shiraz instead. 85
