Showing impressive weight and density, this modestly priced cabernet from Zonte’s Footstep is a throwback to the days when Australia first entered the U.S. market with wines that punched well above their weight. Loaded with layers of ripe blackberry, boysenberry and currant fruit and a touch of oak spice, it has power without sacrificing elegance and at the price it’s a steal. A platinum award-winner at the 2016 Critics Challenge International Wine and Spirits Competition.
