Forester Estate Cabernet Merlot 2013
Forester Estate Tasting Note
“Highly perfumed aromas of leafy blackcurrant and cedary oak with a slice or two of rich fruitcake. The palate is soft, supple and so generous with its rich dark fruit flavours. The tannins add a structural dimension and the oak brings some nice toasty influences to bear. Lovely wine.” 90 Points
Dan Murphys Tasting Note
Dan- Always regarded as one of Margaret River’s favourite wineries due to the inherant quality. Forester Estate seems to marry beautifully with their value-for-money philosophy. This Cabernet Merlot continues to win wide acclaim due to its dark purple colour and its lifted aromas of raspberries and black forest cake. Rich berry flavours are well balanced by a tight tannin structure typical of quality Margaret River Cabernets. The other great bonus is the ability of this great Cab blend to morph into a true cellar star. 94 Points
Wine Selectors Tasting Note
A lifted mix of dark blueberry fruit, mocha, spice and subtle notes of dried herb and earth precede a medium weight yet quite concentrated palate with ripe curranty fruit and cassis and hints of graphite, dried herb and mint. The oak is fresh and well-judged and tannins gentle through to the finish.
