Flametree Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022 from Margaret River presents as a polished, classically framed Cabernet blend that feels both generous and controlled, with classic Margaret River black‑fruit gravitas and sneaky drinkability.

Deep crimson with a vivid purple edge, Flametree Cabernet Merlot 2022 bursts with cassis, blackcurrant and dark plum, stitched together with cocoa‑dusted oak, subtle baking spices, leather and a hint of dried herb and sea‑spray lift across the finish. Medium‑full in weight, it slides over the tongue with fine, chalky tannins that grip cleanly rather than drag, letting ripe black‑fruit concentration flow through without heaviness or obvious heat.

Match this wine with wood‑roast lamb shoulder, rib‑eye with chimichurri, slow‑cooked duck or tomato‑heavy pasta with mushrooms – its balance of fruit, oak and savoury tannins makes Flametree Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022 a standout weeknight red that still carries enough polish for a proper dinner party.
