Richmond Grove Weathervane Cabernet Merlot

Winery: Richmond Grove
Label: Weathervane Cabernet Merlot
Vintage: 2004
Region: Barossa Valley, Australia
Price: $11
Avg. Rating: 3/5

JD: An interesting wine that evolves in your mouth: initially smooth, then fruity, and ending with a rush of alcohol. A wine you could take to a party that most people would enjoy, though it won't blow anyone away.
3 bottles

RS: Lots of alcohol throughout (14.5%!) which tended to distract me from the other flavors. Too bad, because there were strong notes of flavors that I really enjoy - dark chocolate, blackberry - along with flavors that I can deal with if others are there - leather, for instance. All in all an enjoyable drink, so long as you don't mind being extremely aware of how much alcohol you're imbibing.
