Bremerton Langhorne Creek Tamblyn 2017

Bremerton's Tamblyn red blend expresses the characteristics of the different varietals providing a complex flavour profile with a soft tannin finish. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the framework, Shiraz adds berry fruit weight, Malbec adds a perfumed lift and intense colour and the Merlot rounds out the palate. The components for the 2017 Tamblyn were individually fermented in open top fermenters which allowed for optimal extraction of colour and flavour. The wine was matured in a combination of new and old French and American barrels for 18months before blending and bottling. 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Shiraz, 12% Malbec and 7% Merlot.

"A favourite of Brick Tamland, perhaps. Tasted blind in a lineup of 20 Australian Cabernet, and this popped out, and now I see it’s sub $20. Happy days. Cabernet, Shiraz, Malbec and Merlot.
Peppermint nougat, black fruit, raspberry frogs. Medium-bodied, comely style, rich but balanced, plenty of sexy oak, but ample satisfaction, good finish. Classic Aussie brew."

"A very attractive medium-bodied 45/38/11/6% blend. Here '17 has worked hand in glove with the vintage. Outrageous bargain. Drink steadily."
