About This Wine


Scissor Kick Cellars

Cabernet Sauvignon

Getting to Australia takes a real effort, but after a 24 hour flight, you can walk onto the tarmac in the land down under. It’s a different world, with wildlife that exists nowhere else on earth and lots of sun, surf, and sand. Thankfully there are incredible wine growing regions as well. Our experts have found some of the ripest and freshest young Cabernet Sauvignon to bring to the club. A combination of focused red fruits, eucalyptus, tobacco, and dark chocolate are balanced by fine-grained tannins from the short time it spent in oak. It’s a great food wine with a balanced profile that can stand up to rich foods and heavier meats. Judges love it too! It took home a bronze medal from the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

Wine Region


Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.

  • A figure representing the Tobacco tasting note. Tobacco
  • A figure representing the Blackcurrant tasting note. Blackcurrant

This wine has notes of cassis, tobacco and fine-grained tannins. A slight hint of eucalyptus and bright fruit play with the elegant style and dark chocolate notes. The focused fruit and nuanced herbal notes make a fantastic pairing with tender meats.
