The 2022 Brokenwood Cabernet Merlot is a classic Australian red blend that combines the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the softness and generosity of Merlot. Sourced from premium vineyards across New South Wales, the wine opens with aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum and blackberry layered with subtle cedar, dried herbs and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine tannins, balanced acidity and a smooth, approachable finish. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and length, while the Merlot contributes texture and ripe fruit richness. Notes of dark berries, cocoa and savoury oak unfold across the palate, creating a well-rounded and versatile red suited to a wide range of occasions.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday red blend for customers who enjoy balanced, fruit-driven wines with soft tannins and classic regional character. Drinking beautifully now, though it will continue to develop over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with grilled steaks, roast lamb, hearty pasta dishes or aged cheddar cheese.
