Warrabilla Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Made by Warrabilla in Australia (region: Rutherglen) .

A dry, still, red wine with 14.5% alcohol tasted on 22nd Aug 2008.

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon

Quality: Good

Value: Okay

Cost: Usually between $24.99 - $26.99.

Looks: Black colour, good purple stickiness on the glass, and full bodied

Smells: Ripe blackcurrant with some good earth tones

Feels: Full bodied

Tastes: No coincidence that this wine in the stable tastes lightyears ahead of the Reserve Shiraz and is 14.5% alcohol. Although still a big wine, it is so much better balanced. Nice thick blackcurrant tones, good earthy foundation and slick tannins. Nice wine.
