The 2024 Freycinet Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is a refined cool-climate red from Tasmania's picturesque Freycinet Peninsula, crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a small portion of Cabernet Franc. Produced from estate-grown vines, this vintage opens with expressive aromas of cassis, black plum and ripe berries, complemented by notes of cedar, liquorice, black olive and subtle spice that reflect its cool-climate origin.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, structured tannins and vibrant acidity. Layers of blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry are supported by savoury herbs, gentle oak and a touch of graphite, creating a balanced wine with freshness, depth and a long, elegant finish.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Tasmanian Cabernet blend for those who appreciate elegant, cool-climate reds with both structure and finesse. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar over the next 8–12 years. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled beef, venison, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses.
