This Australian Cabernet Sauvignon combines welcome fruit restraint with elegant uplift. Deep ruby in color, it has an aromatic nose of blackberry, black plum, raspberry, black tea and hints of fresh herbs. On the palate the dry, full-bodied wine offers a velvety mouthfeel with grippy tannin. While some Australian Cabernet Sauvignons hit you over the head with brawny ripe fruit, this one is subtle and encourages you to lean into it.
