Recently on the blog I shared my experiences tasting some of the new ALDI wine range which you can read about here: travellingcorkscrew.com.au/blog/aldi-wine-and-liquor

I’ll also be sharing my notes here, so let’s get stuck in...

Blackstone Paddock Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, $17.99

To be honest, neither myself or Mr. Spittoon really enjoyed this wine on its own – there just wasn’t much there. However teamed with food (we hit up BYO spot, Dough Pizza in Northbridge) it was a bit more palatable.

It’s a brilliant bright garnet colour in the glass. On the nose, I picked up hints of blackberries, pencil shavings and green bell pepper. In the mouth, it’s a light and easy drinking Cab. There are hints of blackcurrants, blueberries and leather. It’s inoffensive and easy to down with food. The food (pizza and charcuterie) helped bring out the flavours a bit more. I’d only recommend if having it with food.

Would I buy it? Probably not, it just didn’t have the oomph I am looking for in an $18 bottle of red wine from Margs.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #sample #tcweekdaywine
