Savvy wine buy: Greg Norman Estates ‘98 Cabernet/Merlot
Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2000 | 10:03 a.m.
Name recognition isn't what should draw you to this delicious wine, but yes, it is the same Greg Norman from the golf world producing this lush Bordeaux-style blend. It's 90 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 percent Merlot, so it isn't a classic Bordeaux blend, but it does smell like one. Coonawarra is one of the best wine regions in Australia, and terrific bargains such as this one abound from it. This wine has a dark color, dense, jammy fruit and forward tannins. It should drink well for at least five more years.
Available at Las Vegas Wine Co., $13.59, and Nevada Wine Cellar, $14.99.
