Wynns 2006 Cabernet Shiraz Merlot SAMay08 sells for approximately $18 and is sealed under screwcap. The wine is a blend of 50% cabernet, 40% Shiraz and 10% Merlot. It is affectionately known as the”red stripe” Wynns. The bouquet is black showing tar, blackberry, plum and light, leafy notes with lifted menthol aromatics. The juicy-fruit driving the wine is beautifully framed by abundant, silky, chewy, dusty tannins which form a medium-weight, supple wine with a solid structure and an agreeable complexity. Plums, violets, blackcurrant, and chocolate flavours are contrasted by a slightly sappy mid-palate and a long, drying finish. The wine is approachable now but will improve. Rated as Recommended with **** for value (based on a street price of $15) it will comfortably last till 2015.
