I guess yesterday was the Aussie Cabernet tasting day for me. This was the third wine in the lineup and I was suffering from ‘palate fatigue’ if you know what I mean! Very basic and reasonably priced everyday wine from this mass-producer. Nothing special, yet nothing untoward. Balanced, somewhat fresh and definitely fruity. I imagine this wine was made for pop-n-pour as it has very little long-term structure. It will please at parties and is also an everyday dinner wine. I won’t break the bank, but offers decent plum, blueberry and oak. The Shiraz is not overly jammy, the Cabernet adding some spice. 3 stars and 85 points from me.
