Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Coleraine Cabernet / Merlot reveals a fragrant nose of blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants with dark chocolate, cigar box and clove nuances. Medium-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular at this early stage with restrained fruit and spice layers supported by an impressively seamless structural line of firm, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing very long.
