One of the Canberra regions best small family run wineries, Clonakilla at
Murrumbateman, has produced another winner with their 2006 Ballinderry blend of
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Merlot.
A bright purplish and lively looking wine, it has a strong palate of black currant and
berry flavours with a hint of pepper and a pleasing finish in the mouth. It is not
weighed down with too heavy tannins or oak and is therefore an excellent dinner wine
suitable for all meats and fish.
Well placed in the $25 to $35 price range this wine should also keep well for quite a
few more years and develop further complexity in the bottle.
I am looking forward to my next bottle of this good wine.
