The 2023 Moppity Twelve Signs Cabernet Merlot is a smooth and well-balanced red wine crafted in a classic Australian style. The nose is rich and inviting, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry, complemented by subtle notes of cedar, gentle spice and a touch of mocha.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft, velvety tannins, balanced natural acidity and a rounded, generous texture, delivering flavours of juicy blackberries, cassis and plum layered with hints of chocolate, dried herbs and subtle oak spice. The finish is smooth, lingering and well-balanced, making it an approachable red that is equally suited to everyday enjoyment and food pairing.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Cabernet Merlot for customers who enjoy rich, fruit-driven reds with soft tannins and excellent balance. Perfect for relaxed dinners, casual entertaining or sharing with friends. Best enjoyed now or over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with roast beef, grilled lamb, gourmet burgers, pasta with rich tomato sauces or mature cheddar and hard cheeses.
