(1821 views) | | | Tasted by 10izguy on 11/22/2007: this was an excellent bottle of wine. My girlfriend (who has a very discerning palate) first identified this as a Shiraz. If it is possible for a cab to taste like a Shiraz this would be it.
glad we have a few more bottles (2091 views) | | | Tasted by kanwingshing on 7/23/2007 & rated 88 points: at 14.5% it's a hot wine. On nose it's sweet with chocolate and quite dusty. Medium bodied with sweet fruit and the texture of the tannin almost make the wine feel powdery (it has a chocolate feel to it). Long finish on mineral, licorice notes. No bad just not my style maybe.

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)Cabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonAustralia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia) |
