The 2022 McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Cabernet Merlot is a vibrant Margaret River red that highlights the region’s natural affinity with Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose shows blackcurrant, cassis and dark cherry, layered with dried herbs, subtle violet and gentle savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fresh acidity and fine, structured tannins, delivering dark berry fruit, plum and herbal Cabernet characters with restrained oak influence. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent, combining ripe fruit with the savoury structure typical of Margaret River Cabernet.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Cabernet drinkers who enjoy concentrated dark fruit balanced by freshness, fine tannins and savoury complexity. Enjoy it now with food or cellar over the next 5–8 years as the tannins soften and secondary characters develop. Ideal with grilled steak, roast lamb, beef brisket, mushroom dishes or aged cheddar.
