Halliday Wine Companion – Serengale Vineyard Cabernet Merlot 2019

Reviewed by Jeni Port, published 3 August 2022

Score: 89/100 (Bronze)

Hand-picked fruit, fermented using indigenous yeasts in open-top fermenters, matured in a mix of old and new French oak for 18 months. Unfiltered. A fine-featured young cab merlot that retains a healthy dose of Aussie bush scents, dried herbs and leaves that is immediately attractive and inviting. The palate delivers plenty of flesh and supple tannins in unison with juniper, cassis, spice with a fleck of rose.
