A standard WA Cab Sauv that would satisfy most, though nothing to write home about. Nose of cassis, slight menthol, and cherry cola. Med + body, ripe tannin, low acid and just enough extract. Red and black currant, vanilla and some chocolate on the finish, though I find the middle to be a little hallow. The wine shows classic varietal typicity, but maybe lacks in sense of origin. Suits for the backyard BBQ. Drink over next 3 years. Tasted Sept '13.
