Palatine Hills Ramblers Schmoozer Cabernet Merlot 2024 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

A smooth, easygoing red blend that opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry, rounded by notes of vanilla and gentle spice. It’s medium-bodied, dry, and supple on the palate, with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and 13% alcohol making it a laid-back yet polished sip. Serve it just below room temperature to showcase its fruit-forward style and silky texture. Fascinating fact: Palatine Hills crafts the Ramblers series as approachable, everyday wines, produced on historic vineyards where relics from the War of 1812 are still found among the vines—a reminder that history and hospitality share the same soil. This blend is best enjoyed now through the next 3–4 years for its juicy fruit and easy charm. You can order this wine directly from the winery at www.palatinewinery.com.

Ramblers Schmoozer Cabernet Merlot food pairings: barbecued burgers topped with cheddar, where the wine’s ripe fruit and spice stand up to the smoky richness. Or enjoy it with a classic spaghetti bolognese, where its soft tannins and berry core complement the hearty tomato sauce.
