2003 Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Merlot
Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep garnet colour. Lifted aromas of plum, raspberry, cassis and chocolate are complemented by subtle hints of French oak. The palate fulfills the promise shown by the nose and adds delicate flavours of mulberry and vanilla. This approachable, medium bodied wine exhibits lovely balance in the mouth, made complete by the long, fine finish. This wine would be an ideal accompaniment to most meat dishes.
"Bright red. Peppery, herb-accented cherry and redcurrant aromas strongly suggest Bordeaux; this doesn't smell like it's from a superripe vintage. Taut, light red berry and plum flavors are nicely focused and zesty, with fine-grained tannins adding structure. Finishes bright and crisp, with very good persistence and a lingering note of cherry pit. Nice balance here - 90"Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Online, July 2007
"90 points - A prelude indeed. Showing laid back cabernet-merlot style with ripe berry fruits, plenty of creamy oak influence, some roasted meats and baking spices - nutty/savoury oak too. Starts out all taut and a little twangy then fades to a soft-centred easygoing palate, ripe fruit flavours and unobtrusive tannins."Nick Stock, The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide, 2009
"Gravely and cool with fresh blackcurrant. Nice developed palate, but still good fruit definition."Nick Dumergue, Decanter Magazine, February 2009
