Liking this Aussie Cabernet for its fullness, balanced use of oak and adherence to varietal nuances while maintaining individuality and terroir.
The upper echelon wine of a somewhat large operation, they have done well to craft this beauty that pleases the palate with currants, a little mint and I sensed a some tobacco. The tannic structure is good, yet unobtrusive. Aging potential: another 5 years at least. Good length with no astringency and a nice balance.
Considering the company, I would imagine this wine is widely available and at a good price. 4 stars and 88 points from me for a good companion to grilled meats, cheese or just an evening on the porch sipping wine. Get some, you won’t be disappointed.
