"Discover this Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia, rated delicious by James Suckling!"
"Head-spinning notes of spicy oak and chocolate mingle with blackcurrant, violet, and mint. The tannins are a little harsh and the acidity is reduced, but savory spices and red fruit linger through the finish. A solid, young Cabernet in classic Vasse style. (Wine Enthusiast 2022) • Screw cap
