The 2024 Juniper Crossing Cabernet Merlot is a smooth and approachable Margaret River red blend crafted in a classic Western Australian style, combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the softness and generosity of Merlot. The nose is rich and inviting, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry, complemented by subtle notes of cedar, dried herbs, mocha and gentle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins, balanced natural acidity and a smooth, rounded texture, delivering flavours of blackberry, cassis and plum layered with hints of dark chocolate, savoury herbs and subtle cedar. The finish is long, soft and beautifully balanced, making it a versatile red wine for both everyday enjoyment and food pairing.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Margaret River Cabernet Merlot for customers who enjoy elegant, fruit-driven reds with refined tannins and excellent drinkability. Perfect for family dinners, casual entertaining or sharing with friends. Best enjoyed now or over the next 5–7 years. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steaks, gourmet burgers, pasta with rich tomato sauces or mature cheddar and hard cheeses.
