Juniper Estate Crossing Cabernet Merlot
Min. Quantity: 3
Juniper Crossing's 'The Original Red' Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend, is grown and made in the Margaret River, a region known for producing beautiful, fruit driven Cabernet Sauvignon and, Cabernet Merlot blends. The palate is full of juicy raspberry, cherry, red and black currants flavours with smooth long fine tannins and a very satisfying finish. This wine is all about the fruit, which makes it very approachable now although it has the structure to age for 5 to 10 years. 'The Original Red' is superb with lamb fillet or a roast leg of lamb with garlic and herbs.
Expert Reviews & Awards
"Predominantly cabernet sauvignon, followed by merlot, with small amounts of cabernet franc/malbec/ petit verdot. Matured for 12 months in French oak (12% new). Juicy, bright, vibrant and delicious. What more do you want at this price?" (On the 2019 vintage).

Region
About Margaret River
The Margaret River produces outstanding Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc as well as Bordeaux style red blends made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Located 200 kilometres south of Perth, the Margaret River has a warm maritime climate. This results in grapes that have concentrated fruit aromas and flavours while still retaining high levels of acidity, due to the cooling ocean breezes. This also allows the Margaret River to offer fresh, elegant and restrained wines as well as full-bodied and powerful wines.
