The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark berry flavors intertwined with notes of herbal undertones and subtle spice. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. Dry in style, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a sophisticated choice that pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, making it an excellent companion for any special occasion.

South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
