Karina Vineyard Cabernet Merlot 2000
This is becoming a theme of this blog, but this Karina Vineyard Cabernet Merlot from the Mornington Peninsula region of Australia is yet another wine discontinued by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority and thus marked down, in this case from $25 to $17 a bottle.
We liked it enough to buy another bottle after tasting the first. It's on the earthy rather than the fruity side of red, with a nice round, full mouth feel. It's not particularly tannic--we think we probably got it at its peak and further cellaring wouldn't do it much good. Is it worth $17? Absolutely, which is why we bought a second bottle. $25? We're not so sure...but then, we didn't have to pay that, did we?
