Western Australian Cabernet is hard to beat as a delicious and appealing style of red and this is a fine, extremely well-priced example. Dark maroon in colour, the nose offers aniseed, chocolate, tobacco leaves, warm earth, coffee grinds and blackberries. There is oak evident but it is well integrated. The wine is of medium length, with fine balance and finishing with soft, furry tannins. A slightly chunky finish but endless flavour here. Enjoy anytime over the next ten years.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
