2021 Bella Terra Cabernet Merlot

Tasting Notes:

The 2021 Cabernet Merlot is juicy and vibrant wine that combines the best of both varietals. On the nose, it entices with a captivating blend of pomegranate, blackberries, and black peppercorn. These aromas intertwine, offering a sensory journey that is both fruity and spicy, setting the stage for an intriguing tasting experience. As the wine graces the palate, flavours of black cherries take over, delivering a burst of ripe and juicy fruitiness. The hints of mulberries add depth and enhance the overall flavour profile. This combination of fruit and spice creates a harmonious and enjoyable drinking experience.  

Food Pairing: To complement the flavour profile of this refreshing Cabernet Merlot, a perfect food pairing option would be a grilled herb-crusted lamb chop with a balsamic reduction. The succulent and flavourful lamb, enhanced by the herb crust and tangy balsamic reduction, harmonizes beautifully with the wine's black cherry and mulberry flavours.
