Cabernet Sauvignon

2006 South Eastern Australia Cabernet Sauvignon

The Friday Monkey Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage is a luscious red wine hailing from the esteemed South Eastern Australia region, known for producing exceptional varietals. This full-bodied wine captivates the senses with its depth and complexity, offering a delightful balance of high acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing ripe blackcurrant and plum notes, which are beautifully complemented by subtle undertones of cedar and spice. Its firm tannins provide structure, making it a remarkable choice for those who enjoy a robust wine experience. The dry profile of this Cabernet Sauvignon makes it wonderfully food-friendly, pairing seamlessly with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes.

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.
