Calbuco Cabernet Merlot 2008 - Chile

Winery:

A blend of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives colour, flavour and backbone and Merlot, which provides a fleshiness and rounded character. The Calbuco wines are named after a 2,000 meter volcano in the Andes that last erupted in 1972. Calbuco is clearly visible for miles around thanks to the brilliant Chilean light. This brilliant light also helps to ripen the grapes, which in turn gives a wine that is full and flavoursome.

Meerlust Red 2007 - South Africa

Winery:

Aromas of lovely fresh blackcurrant leaf, plum and a bit of cherry backed up by denser richer notes of coffee and cedar wood. The palate is reminiscent of left bank Bordeaux, say a St Julien.

Vilafonte Series M 2003 - South Africa

Winery:

Technically not a cabernet blend as it is 41% merlot, cabernet 39%, with bits of malbec and cab franc. This is a serious attempt at making South Africa's elusive Icon wine. It is indeed immensely replete, stylish, and well-crafted, showing a full, dense palate of dark fruit and secondary complexities, and considerable length. Ageing potential is certainly in the region of 10-15 years should you wish.
