Creekside Estate Winery
2006 Cabernet Merlot VQA
1.5L

The 2006 winter season consisted of milder temperatures than average resulting in healthy vines with maximum fruit production. The early growing season saw warm dry weather that sustained through to the fall, this created optimal development and berry ripening throughout the summer. September and October saw periodic rain which diluted the sugar and fruit concentration of some varieties. The overall outcome was fantastic balance of sweetness and acidity in white varieties and workable ranges in the reds. The end of the growing season closed out well with a decent Indian summer; a warm dry stretch in which later harvest varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon did better than expected.

TASTING NOTES
Cherry red in colour, our 2006 Cabernet Merlot has a bright fruity nose with aromas of red currant, raspberry and cherry accented with a subtle hint wood spice. The palate is light to medium bodied and soft. Flavours of fresh berry fruit and rhubarb, fresh herb and light spice. Subtle acidity helps to give this wine balance and structure. Drink now to 2011.
