Medium+ ruby in colour with a medium+ intensity on the nose.
Positives: Classic Cab notes while being restraint from going to jammy in a lot of inexpensive Australian Cabs & the alcohol being under 14%. Wine shows cedar, cassis, blackberry, cloves, leather, turmeric, pencil shavings, ripe tamarind & a touch of eucalyptus. Medium to full body with medium+ tannins, good acidity & a fairly long length.
Negatives: None.
Interesting Point: GET IT WHILE IT'S AVAILABLE. Now that I got your attention, LCBO has this wine on sale for $13.65.
Drink now or over the next 2 years on its own or pair it with T-Bone steak.
Tasted: 30 May 12
