This wine is everything you want in an in-your-face, fruit-driven Aussie red. Ripe aromas of blackberry, plum and black cherry are plush and layered, with soft, supple tannins and an essence of sweetness and spice at the core. If you like this style — and many do — you’ll love this big, voluptuous Cab, especially at this very attractive price.
