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.

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.

Jun 28th, 2017Too much tannin. Pepper. Not typical cab. Too bold for me. Maybe better in 4 years? 2014 vintage
