Brindabella Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 (Recommended)

In some ways this wine is quite the opposite of what one would expect from a Canberra cab – rich fruit, soft structure and sweet berries – and that is precisely why this wine is a good story. Simply it’s a decent, friendly drink now cabernet sauvignon for around $20. Ripe nose, generic berries, not overblown. More of the same to taste although some more typical cab / herbal notes kick in mildly on the back palate. Finishes a touch short. No matter, this drinks very well right now.
