Tasting- Lindeman's Bin 80 Cabernet-Merlot

Name: Lindeman's Bin 80 Cabernet-Merlot
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Region:South Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year:2010
Price:$6.99

Winery Review: "Soft and medium bodied with generous plum and berry characters combining with richer, darker Merlot flavors. Maturation in oak adds hints of cedar and spice"

My Review: Well balanced fusion of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to create a smooth, silky taste.  The Bin 80 blends plum and berry flavors to create a medium bodied wine that can be described as suble and velvety, not too dry nor too fruity.  I enjoyed this wine with a vegeterian stir fry over brown rice and quinoa.  My meal lent itself nicely to the wine since the flavors were not too overwhelming.  I would recommend this wine for anyone looking for a tame red wine.
