The purple-colored 2005 Isabelle Blend is composed of 51% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Petit Verdot aged for 24 months in French oak hogsheads (300-liter barrels). It exhibits an attractive perfume of cedar, spice box (clove and cinnamon), cassis, and black cherry leading to a ripe, balanced, easy-drinking wine. More depth and concentration would have earned it a higher score. The owner/winemaker of Gibson Wines is Rob Gibson who left Penfolds to start his own winery.Importer: The Country Vintner; www.countryvintner.com.au
