Written Notes

Spend less money, get more drinkable wines. Coonawarra shouldn’t be like that! This is thick cut $25 Coonawarra Cabernet driven by an ocean of blackberry fruit, regional mint and gruff tannins. A tad inelegant and warm/drying to finish but gee there is a solid core of dark fruit that drives this. I’d drink more than most in this little lineup. It feels substantial- a correct $25  Cabernet. Good. Best drinking: now to fifteen years. 17.5/20, 91/100.
