Polish Hill River Cabernet Merlot

Chocolatey cherry with leathery cinnamon.
A deep, sparkling ruby red with violet reflections that indicates the concentration and maturity of the wine. The dense color in the glass speaks for a Cabernet Sauvignon with strong character, power and elegance, ideal for connoisseurs of complex red wines.
On the nose, ripe cherries and blackberries blend with notes of vanilla, chocolate and a hint of pepper. Subtle hints of leather and cinnamon add depth to the bouquet, while floral accents such as lavender add elegant complexity.
On the palate, the wine is lush and full-bodied, with a harmonious balance between red and black fruits. Creamy tannins and a gentle acidity contribute to the structure, while the finish is characterized by long-lasting chocolate and eucalyptus notes.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is vinified from hand-picked grapes in Lodi, California. The warm days and cool nights promote optimal ripening of the fruit. Aging in oak barrels adds a spicy complexity and underlines the Californian signature of this wine.
The Paulett family crossed half a continent after deciding to make wines big where they had previously been small. They now make the world's best Riesling and Shiraz.
In the 1980s, Neil and Alison Paulett decided to move to the Polish Hills in the Clare Valley. Australia was in recession and suffering from a severe drought. They chose the most beautiful place in the whole of the Clare Valley, a region that was only just making a name for itself as a wine region. Everything spoke against it, but the Paulett couple fought their dream through and are now the proud address for the best Riesling in the world (Best of 500 - International Riesling Challenge). The younger Paulett generation, Matt and Ali, now have the reins and are successfully driving the family business forward. They continue to produce Riesling, Shiraz and sparkling wines.
