Super value Cabernet from a Shiraz stronghold.
Flashes of mint and clove are partnered by generous and luxurious black berries and fruits. There's a sinew element too. That leafiness of Cabernet can't be shaken but it's not dominant - just bumbling along in the background. Fruit is brushed on generously leading to a long a satisfying finish. Hook in. Bargain hunters load up and keep an eye out for specials in retail land.
