Wynn's Coonawarra Cab Sav Merlot 2005

Following on from the Chalk Hill tonight was this old favourite. This wine never lets me down. Tonight, allowed to breathe for about two hours in the bottle (under the air conditioner) it was strong and showed all of the power of a quality wine.

Vanilla coming to the fore (as usual) and a good blend of oak and fruit (though more oak should be noted)

I have to say it again, that for a sub $20 wine, this is a fantastic buy.

Thanks to Kev for introducing me to this and thanks to BWS for continually putting it on special at $13 a bottle.

Wynn's Coonawarra Cab Shiraz Merlot 2005

I have already stated my love for this wine as the best thing under $13.00

This bottle did nothing to change my mind, smooth as silk and very nice spicy vanilla make this easily my favourite drinker. I can't fault it and now must get back and buy more at that price.

What else can I say? This rocks!!
