Overview:
The Pegasus Bay 2021 Merlot Cabernet is a robust and complex wine, showcasing the power and depth that come from a carefully balanced blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec.

It is a perfect choice for those seeking a full-bodied red with both intensity and refinement.
Tasting Notes:
This wine reveals a rich tapestry of flavours, with purple plum notes from the Merlot offering a fleshy mid-palate, while the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes cassis elements and a backbone of ripe, mouth-filling tannins. Small portions of Cabernet Franc and Malbec add an ethereal lift to the bouquet, with the Malbec providing a subtle hint of rose petals. On the palate, the wine is big, dense, and chewy, expanding as it moves through the mouth with a lingering, spicy aftertaste that continues to unfold.
