The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaThis is just barely recognizable as Coonawarra cabernet, with an oak-driven nose that obscures the dusty black fruits and eucalyptus. True to form, it's medium-bodied and linear in texture, but with extremely assertive, bitter tannins that dry out the warm finish. It's not unfairly priced, but this will need a protein to help soften it.Tasted: 05 July 2020Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
