A Merlot dominant blend, completed with a small portion of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine marries elegance and depth, with a seductive, silk-laden texture that reveals both structure and finesse.

62% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon

93 Points from Cameron Douglas

A Merlot and Cabernet Franc dominant blend with a bouquet of roasted Doris plums and blackcurrant with a mix of violets and black olive, a fine leafy tobacco quality then wood. The small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a measure of blackberry and fruit spice. A dry and delicious wine on the palate with persistent flavours framed by polished firm tannins and acidity for salivation and freshness. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2034.

Linden Estate Merlot / Cabernet Franc 2022 : 4 stars

On the nose you have dark cherries, plums, mocha, dried herbs, violets and a hint of spice. The medium weight palate celebrates those red berries, cherries, red plums all nicely wrapped in mild tannins and deft use of oak, resulting in finely textured wine with a smooth finish.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

Bbq’d kebabs, pork & thyme sausages, classic thin-based pizza’s, mushroom & truffle pasta, homemade hamburgers, plus earthy vegetarian cuisine and a range of hard chesses.
