Cherry and plum. Prominent oak and tannins. Earthy finish. Will go with steak or pasta with meat sauce.

Dark ruby in color with a brick rim.

Light nose of blueberries, plums, cherries, licorice, oak, vanilla, green vegetables, bell pepper, earth, sage, spices, graphite, bitter herbs, alcohol and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, raspberries, vegetables, oak, cloves, bell pepper, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather and tobacco.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Australian Cabernet is drinking nicely now. Simple, without too much complexity, but nicely balanced.

Entertaining by itself or with food.
I paired it with a cheese plate, nuts and crackers.

14% alcohol by volume.

My least favorite of the line, but still good. Very tannic.

Subtle savoury notes of cedar and leather with a little violet note. Decent fruit quality but lacking weight. Seems over oaked to me. The wine is fine but overpriced and uninspiring.

For btg this is pretty good. You get a meaty, peppery feel at the very least. Even after a coupe of days.

It was drinkable, but not memorable. Would not buy again. Ruby red pour. Ripe fruit on the nose.
