Elmswood Estate 2004 Cabernet Merlot
The 2004 Cabernet Merlot was harvested from 25 year old low yielding vines, from our 20 acre vineyard in the ‘Red Lands” area of the Yarra Valley. Picked late in the season, the wine produced has spent 18 months in French Barriques. The nose is full of fresh blackberries with the palate showing a little pepper on the finish. Drink now or put in the cellar and watch it develop over the next 12-15 years. |

Five Oaks 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot is an 82% Cabernet, 18% Merlot blend that was bottled at the end of January 2003. The wine displays a medium red colour with purple hues. It has rich ripe blackcurrant, black cherry nose with hints of savoury, minty characters that also come through on the palate.
The berry fruit flavours are nicely complimented by ripe tannins and well-integrated French oak, giving the wine a smooth, medium bodied mouth feel. This is a wine that had benefited from 5 years of careful cellaring, is drinking beautifully now and should be at its best until 2010. |

Five Oaks 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot
The Cabernet-Merlot is a 55% Cabernet, 45% Merlot blend. The component wines were matured for 18 and 19 months respectively, in a mix of French and American oak barrels.

The wine is medium-bodied with mainly dark berry fruit and plum aromas and flavours, complemented by some fine spicy oak tannin. This wine will benefit from a further 4 to 5 years of bottle ageing. |

Classic blend of 50% Merlot with 50% Cabernet. Merlot adds to the fruity aromas significantly while Cabernet lays down the length of flavour & longevity. Ripe blackberry and currant aromas mingle with elegant green leaf and mint complexity. A gutsy, moorish wine displaying small dark fruit intensity, fine grain peppery tannins and cedary oak. Definitely one to cellar or drink now with hearty food. |

Storm Ridge 2003 Yarra Valley Cabernet Merlot
This wine is all from Yarra Valley fruit. The fermentation took place in open fermenters and fruit was added over a period of three days to extend the ferment with the cap being plunged three times a day. The wine was then aged in a combination of new and older French and American Oak for a period of 16 months. The Wine Was bottled in October 2003.
The combination of Cabernet and Merlot gives the wine great complexity. The merlot is quite dominate at the moment and gives attractive plummy flavours in the middle palate. Whilst this wine shows some cooler climate cabernet characters the main focus of this wine is on rich blackberry flavours with firm tannins on the finish. The nose of this wine exhibits blackberries and capsicums, the palate is stewed plum, blackberries and a hint of cedar oak- cigar box flavours.
