"Discover this Australian Cabernet Sauvignon—delicious, according to James Suckling!"
“Head-spinning notes of spicy oak and chocolate mingle with blackcurrant, violet, and mint. The tannins are a bit harsh and the acidity is low, but the savory spices and red fruit linger through the finish. A solid, youthful Cabernet in Vasse’s classic style. ” (Wine Enthusiast 2022) • Screw cap

Intoxicating notes of spicy oak and chocolate blend with blackcurrant, violet, and mint. The tannins are a bit harsh and the acidity is low, but the savory spices and red fruits linger through the finish. A robust, youthful Cabernet in Vasse’s classic style.
