Levantine Hill Samantha’s Paddock Mélange Traditionnel 2017, Yarra Valley, AUD $200
The mélange in this case is 69% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 5% malbec, 4% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc.
A glorious wine, absolutely typical of the classic Yarra Valley cabernet-based style, medium-full bodied and beautifully elegant, with a great complexity of violet, rose-petal, tobacco, mixed berry and dried herb aromas, refined texture, long carry and effortless balance. Drinking beautifully now. (cork)
