The entry level 2006 The Blend is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot (although the percentages can fluctuate from year to year). Purple-colored, it offers an expressive bouquet of cedar, spice box, black currants and blackberry. This leads to a full-bodied, concentrated, dense wine with enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years. Layered and long, it will be at its best from 2012 to 2026. David “Duck” Anderson continues to lead the way in Heathcote. All of his wines come from estate vineyards with yields of under 1.5 tons of fruit per acre.No known American importer. www.wildduckcreekestate.com
