The Verdict Cabernet Sauvignon



Australian Cabernet line-up: very nice wine, with bright uplifted fruit, focused acidity, aromas of crushed bing cherry, dried herbs, and pyrazine. Bright, fruity, with a soft midpallet feel.

Jul 16th, 2018Nice balance for a young Cab made in Australia. Nothing like a Cali Cab which is typically a blend while labeled Cab.

Oct 4th, 2014The nose of black cherries, cough syrup, eucalyptus, mint, cedar, and something green hanging around in the back. It is definitely 100% Australian on the nose, and definitely 100% not Cabernet Sauvignon on the nose. The palate is better but really, stick to Shiraz.

Very strong tannins. Difficult to drink on its own.

Great front end bite with a smooth Australian finish. Great for the price point of $25
