Loads of sweet, ripe, affable red fruit, which is announced from the very first whiff. It's not a classical Coonawarra nose by any stretch, but it's certainly juicy. Palate too is loaded with musky, marshmallow edged, berry essence fruit, finishing with noticeable alcohol burn. The problem is that once you get past the sweet red stuff it doesn't taste like a Coonawarra Cabernet. ANDREW GRAHAM
