Calabria 2022 Cabernet Merlot

This arrived as a kind of gift, hence the footy association.

It is however available for individual purchase.

Calabria is a large-ish winery but with its Italian roots, their wines run deep into desirable territory.

A classic blend (Bordeaux), this is nonetheless pure Aussie with Italian flair.

Cabernet Sauvignon gives depth and length.

Merlot gives fruity elegance.

When the two are combined a sultry seductive long lasting wine emerges.

Exactly like this.

It's incredibly good value too.

Match with your best effort spag bol.

Or smear simple barbecued jointed chicken with garlic, lemon and olive oil.

Go crazy with a gingery mushroomy porky stir fried rice. Give this gutsy red a slight chill and quaff.

Thank us later.
