Juicy Blackcurrants, Plush Plum, and Smooth Australian Elegance

The 2024 De Bortoli Family Selection Cabernet Merlot is an approachable, fruit-driven, and rounded red blend from Southeastern Australia. Marrying the structured blackcurrant depth and subtle herbal spice of Cabernet Sauvignon with the velvety dark plum softness of Merlot, it offers enticing aromas of dark berries, ripe cherries, and a touch of gentle oak spice. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth, and easy-drinking, supported by soft tannins and a clean, satisfying finish.
