Neptune Island 2005 Cabernet Merlot

$6.98 @ astor
80% cabernet
20% merlot

south eastern australia
griffith
14% abv

pungent fruity scent. pours dark/purple like an aussie shiraz... smells like a fruit bomb -- blackcurrant way in back.
oof, its a bit too cold -- but really good! light fruit up front, substantive
handles the abv well good balance of acidity. pretty sweet which is a bit strange...

but definitively would buy/drink again
