The 2022 West Cape Howe Cape to Cape Cabernet Merlot x 12 Bottles is a convenient dozen-pack of a classic Western Australian red blend, combining Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a style that highlights freshness, balance and regional character. Sourced from vineyards in the Great Southern, one of Australia's premier cool-climate wine regions, this wine delivers vibrant fruit flavours, fine structure and excellent drinkability, making it a versatile choice for everyday enjoyment.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smoothly textured, with flavours of blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry complemented by notes of bay leaf, cedar and subtle spice. Fine tannins provide gentle structure, while fresh acidity keeps the wine balanced and approachable. The finish is soft and savoury, with lingering dark fruit and herbaceous notes that are characteristic of cool-climate Cabernet Merlot blends.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this 12-bottle pack is a fantastic option for customers looking for a reliable, food-friendly red to enjoy throughout the year. The balance of ripe fruit, fine tannins and regional freshness makes it equally suited to casual meals and entertaining. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef burgers, mushroom dishes, hearty pasta or aged cheddar cheese.
