Mocha, fleshy black plum and a hint of mint on the nose and palate of this full-bodied, delicious Australian Cabernet. Layered, juicy and satisfying. Pair with roast beef.

Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Ripe black plum, mint, dark chocolate, wood smoke, and cigar box aromas introduce this as a 'big' wine. The taste backs up the aromas with big juicy black fruit, grippy tannins, and solid acidity. The finish is long, and features smoky black fruit. This would probably pair quite nicely with rotisseried lamb.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
