The 2008 Cabernet-Merlot provides a deep garnet-purple color and warm blackcurrant and plum aromas plus some spice and dark chocolate. Crisp acidity, medium level of fine tannins. Good concentration and a long finish. Drink now to 2014. 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
