The very essence of an Australian medium-bodied cabernet sauvignon – and that's a good thing! Everything is in its place, no jangly angles or unwieldy bits, just smooth-flowing black fruits, lively spice, signature Central Victorian bush briar leaf and a warm, woodsy, earthy embrace. Smart price, too. (JP)

Robust and giving on the nose, with aromas of blackcurrants, black olive tapenade and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with firmly integrated tannins and a generous mouthfeel, showing notes of wild blackberries, mulberry bush and baking spices. Very fresh. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Notes

Established in 1860, Tahbilk is one of Australia's most iconic and historic family-owned wineries. Located in the Nagambie Lakes sub-region of the Goulburn Valley in central Victoria (about 75 miles north of Melbourne), Tahbilk is a winery that “should be visited at least once by every wine-conscious Australian,” as Jeni Port of the Halliday Wine Companion recently wrote. Most well-known for their seriously old vines — Marsanne planted in 1927 and pre-phylloxera Shiraz planted in 1860 — Tahbilk also presents serious value, offering incredibly well-made wines for very reasonable prices. A true piece of Australian wine history, the wines of Tahbilk should be on every wine collector’s radar.
