At long last we are starting to see well-priced solid domestic Cabernet Sauvignon on the market. Bob Bertheau and his team have put together this straightforward Cabernet that delivers a delightful combination of fruit and herbs wrapped in polished tannins. Thankfully, it’s not a massive blockbuster, but rather it’s a beautifully balanced Cabernet with far more complexity than you’d expect at the price. It’s perfect for current consumption and a bargain to boot.
