Wonderful Cabernet from down under. Lots of black fruits with a nice underlying acidity and integrated tannins. Day 1 PnP and tasted better as the evening progressed. Will decant the next bottle for an hour. Great QPR. I bought a case from Costco. Drink now or over the next couple of years. My new weekday wine.

Lovely nose of fresh dark fruit, florals and baking spice. Balanced palate. Dense colour and rich but fairly smooth tannic structure. Rich but not overripe, and a lovely fresh acidity. There are a few hints at old world stylings and some pleasing graphite notes.
A great example of ripe, pure, well made Cabernet. Not too leafy or extracted or jammy. Just right and bang on the money for the price.
This is in a great place now but will probably hang on and evolve nicely for the next few years.

Possibly a bad bottle. Couldn't drink it - poured down the drain. I hope it was just a bad bottle since I still have several more in the cellar...

Excellent cab for the price. Tannins are just perfect, fruit and acidity balance out this enjoyable wine. Wish I bought more.
