AUSTRALIA

A note from the winemaker: Like a phoenix from the ashes, this cabernet rises from the glass with a complex bouquet of plum, blackberry and anise with a dusting of dark chocolate. It’s a delicious contemporary wine, intense and long on the palate with savory tannins coating the mouth. It’s best drunk with food, with friends and with a roaring fire in the background.

Food Pairings: Steak tacos, roasted lamb, or burgers.
