Knappstein Cabernet Merlot 2004

Knappstein Wines
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot 2004
$21
Clare Valley

I want to use the word dirty, but i think its better to say its got an earthy feel - its deep and full wine but it has more dryer natural flavours, like deep deep red ripe cherries, fruity with a bit of warmth (not heat though like something high in alcohol). Its not terribly complex wine, and probably not one I'd buy a bottle of for a special occassion. It went down smooth manily because it has spent a couple of years in the bottle. Easy drinking.

3/5
