St Hallett Gamekeepers Cabernet Sauvignon

The clever crew at St Hallett clearly appreciate that if you want to release a new label in a saturated market, you need to over deliver. It’s a shame to see Gamekeeper’s Cabernet Shiraz go, but in its place, such a pronounced varietal statement is quite unexpected at this bargain price. Crunchy, tangy blackcurrants, capsicum, leaf and cassis, with solid support from firm, fine, chewy, furry tannins, promising some years of development. $12 at No Frills, Wine List Australia and Aussie Wines.
