Keeping with the ecumenical theme, but moving on to something with a bit more substance, we come to the
Marist Merlot Cabernet, a generous and hearty red. There's no information on what percentages the blend represents, but whatever the ratio, they've done a good job. The
cabernet adds body and strength to the wine. The French oak it's matured in doesn't hurt either!
Aromas are full and spicy, plum, blackberry and liquorice. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, tastes like chocolate and berries, and lingers wonderfully after you've swallowed - which I did, repeatedly.
Food: Maybe a spot of venison.
Price: $20 a bottle, and like the last one, as far as I know it's available only at the cellar door.
