2008 Meeting Ground Margaret River Cabernet Merlot

2008 Meeting Ground Margaret River Cabernet Merlot
Meeting Ground is the creation of innovative winemaker Jodie Opie, the former Chief winemaker of Xanadu.

The 2008 vintage in Margaret River is being compared to the classic 2001 and 2004 vintages. This is as good as it gets in Margaret River due to the evenness and mild ripening season for both reds and whites. The 2008 vintage wines will cellar well with flavours being both balanced yet intense.

Similar style to our previous BackVintage Margaret River Cab Merlot, it represents very good value at only $12.99 per bottle.

Nick Bulleid's Tasting Note

Colour
Deep red garnet

Nose
Intense nose, with blackcurrant, capsicum and well handled oak. A hint of bayleaves, characteristic of Margaret River.

Structure / Palate
Medium bodied palate, with good depth of dark fruits and some complexity from bottle-age beginning to show. The wine finishes with firm tannin astringency.

The wine’s a good example of Margaret River Cabernet from an excellent vintage and will develop further complexity as it softens in bottle until at least 2015. The rich flavours and firm tannins demand red meat dishes.
