Australian Cabernet line-up: very nice wine, with bright uplifted fruit, focused acidity, aromas of crushed bing cherry, dried herbs, and pyrazine. Bright, fruity, with a soft midpallet feel.

Big ol' Australian Cab - and the verdict is: it's delicious. I know I'm probably the ten thousandth person to make that corny joke.

The nose of black cherries, cough syrup, eucalyptus, mint, cedar, and something green hanging around in the back. It is definitely 100% Australian on the nose, and definitely 100% not Cabernet Sauvignon on the nose. The palate is better but really, stick to Shiraz.

Great front end bite with a smooth Australian finish. Great for the price point of $25

Too much tannin. Pepper. Not typical cab. Too bold for me. Maybe better in 4 years? 2014 vintage

Very much my style of cab sav. Easy to drink but plenty of bold flavor. Finishes with notes of plum and cherry
