McWilliams - Cabernet Sauvignon (2006)

McWilliams
Cabernet Sauvignon
Hanwood Estate, South Eastern Australia, 2006

I found this wine to be lightweight throughout. I chose it to accompany a homemade chili, and it did not overwhelm nor did it get overwhelmed. Lots of blackcurrant, with a hint of vanilla and an easy oak finish.

Barefoot Cab-Sauv (2007)

Barefoot
Cabernet-Sauvignon
California (2007)

Lovely mellow and curvy wine. Gold-medal winner at the World Wine Competition (2007), this laid-back west-coast wine is presumptuous enough to challenge the European Cab-Sauv combinations, and come out neck-and-neck.

Rich and full bodied Cabernet combines with luscious berry to produce a very easy and pleasant wine to drink with many dishes.
