A classically made blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from WA. Loads of ripe blue fruit with a splash of cassis, vanilla bean and some gentle eucalypt. The mid palate is soft, with a lash of grainy tannin on the finish. It's gravelly, oaky and lush, and should keep well for years to come.

Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Medoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France leads the way here, with Bordeaux the big one. Also California, South Australia, central and northern Italy, plus Argentina. Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having it’s home in Bordeaux certainly helped it’s rapid expansion, as the Bordelaise (those coming from Bordeaux) are excellent marketers of their own product! Now found in almost all wine-producing countries of the world, Cab Sav is traditionally full-bodied, loaded with plenty of dark fruit (think blueberry and blackberry) and backed up by a zing of herbal/grassy kind of flavours. It’s also known for its strong backbone of tannin – that furry, drying sensation you sometimes get with red wines. Cabernet has plenty of it, but is still a smooth talker regardless. Fun Fact: You've probably met Cabernet Sauvignon's half-sister.. Merlot! If not... then it's probably time for a family reunion!
