Intense colour with bright purple hues. Vibrant black fruits with rich dark chocolate and subtle vanillin oak aromas. Medium to full bodies palate weight, characterised by satisfying tannins and savoury masculine finish. An ideal accompaniment to red meat and premium cuts of prime beef.
Highly expressive, wonderfully complex, a beautifully bold, commanding wine style. Fragrant black plum, fresh berry fruits and cinnamon spice, leading to a silky cocoa centre.
On the nose, is a complex amalgam of dark berry fruit, cassis and roasted cocoa bean, lifted by more fragrant aromas of cedar, sandalwood and hints of dried lavender and thyme. The palate is full bodied with firm but fine-grained tannin and great length.
Intense dark colour red with purple edge. Ripe blackberry and blueberry characters, cedar-wood and liquorice. Soft, rich, mouth coating, balanced tannin, hints of classic Cabernet, authentically Heathcote.
A dark, vibrant red, Five Flax Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon has a medley of dark-fruit aromas from blackcurrant to black plum. A very approachable mid-weight palate with flavours which reinforce the berry fruit aromas on the nose. Balanced acidity and well integrated tannins give the wine softness for early drinking.
