Fresh release for Flametree of this blend (the 2020 is still for sale at time of writing). Chief winemaker is the lauded Cliff Royle.
Flametree, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Margaret River, 2022
Bright and joyous blend of black and purple fruit: cassis, black currant, pastille, Margs black tea and sea spry, milk chocolate, new leather, preserved walnut, baking spice, iodine, gun flint, black olive, cedar spice oak and meaty jus. Flowing and smooth, fine tannins knit neatly as a weave under ripe black flesh, hard edged with graphite and samphire. Neat balance, savoury kicks and fine, balanced finished. Delicious.
