In the $25 - $40 section:
2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
A very impressive cabernet from this emerging Margaret River producer. Strong leafy, minty, tobacco-like characters on the nose, with a dusty cedary influence. The palate is fine and slightly angular, with those sinewy tannins cutting through the fleshy merlot. Well balanced and stylishly presented.
