Wine Review: This pitch black colored Cabernet Sauvignon from down under opens with a blackberry and thyme bouquet with a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a dark chocolate influenced blackberry with notes of minerality. I also detected hints of black currant and a touch of oak. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins show nice staying power. This Cab is a very good value. I would pair it with pan roasted duck with cherries and red wine vinegar. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Appearance: Brick red in colour with youthful crimson tints. Nose: A generously proportioned nose of cassis, smoky oak and ripe truffles. Palate: Full flavoured, plush and dark, with deep notes of blackberry and blackcurrants, all ensconced in subtle oak and fruit tannins. Pair: With Roast Beef, Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings.
