Leeuwin Estate 2003 Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Merlot (Margaret River)

There’s a tobacco and tomato leaf character that gives this an almost floral aroma, but also simpler cassis and cherry fruit. Some herbal notes persist on the palate, but this medium-bodied wine avoids the vegetal side of things, finishing fresh and clean.
