Opaqueish garnet with bricking at the rim with hints of woody smoke, latent black cherry and blackberry fruit, with toasted oak.
Palate--First impression is a tart. mid weight Cabernet, with spicy center, oaky dark berries, with camp fire mid palate, and a puckery and smoky finish.
This may be one of the strangest reviews I have given and a confusing Cabernet to boot. I am honestly not sure what to make of it. It is beyond its prime but still enjoyable in a "this is strange" kind of way. It is an Aussie Cab from the esteemed McClaren Vale region.
I will pair it with charcoal grilled rib eye and it was perfectly fitting.
