About This Wine
Not a blend we see every day, this Cabernet/Nebbiolo delight from Brad Wehr is a unique take on medium -bodied WA reds.
On both the nose and palate each grape brings is trademark characteristics, working together to provide a unique drinking experience. Aromatic florals and minerality from the Nebbiolo, blackcurrant, graphite oak, dark chocolate from the Cab. Medium-bodied yet with some density to go with the finesse, it’s a potpourri of exotics.
Generous and inviting, with soft acid and gentle tannin, this blend is tasty, different and very alluring, it’s a winner for sure.

Critic Reviews
"Two extremely unlikely bedfellows that have physicality and chemistry in this glass. Both varieties require little tannic assistance, so why they are blended is a mystery, yet it works, here. Plush, juicy, tannic and quite delicious. Definitely worth crossing the road for, even if just to satisfy some curiosity. Satisfaction awaits." Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)
