Exhibiting even more vibrancy is the 2009 Cabernet-Merlot, coming in with a deep garnet-purple color. Pretty dark cherry and dried plum aromas and a touch of violets. A nice backbone of high acidity and a medium level of very fine tannins. Full body, nice purity and great value. Long finish. Drink now to 2016. Firestick is the label for the entry level range of well priced, early drinking wines from the Hunter Valley based producer, Poole’s Rock.Importer: The Wine Angel; www.Wine-Angel.com
