Watson Family Classic Cabernet Merlot
About this product
Watson Family Classic Cabernet Merlot 2018 is a generously flavoured Margaret River red, combining ripe berry fruit with savoury Cabernet character and firm, gravelly tannins. It brings together fruit richness and a distinctly structured finish, making it a satisfying choice for hearty meals rather than a soft, simple sipping red.
Black olive, raspberry and blackberry aromas mingle with briary notes and a hint of blood orange. Cassis, pencil shavings and subtle smoky vanilla add further detail. The palate carries ripe red and dark berries with plummy depth, finishing dry and savoury as the tannins provide grip and definition.
Suggested pairings include rosemary-roasted lamb, chargrilled steak or a slow-cooked beef casserole. Mushroom and lentil pie would offer an earthy alternative, complementing the wine’s savoury fruit and firm structure.
