  Really nice. Dark fruit and spice. Definitely ripe, but not sweet or over the top like some Aussie wines I've had recently.

  An Australian cab that drinks like a shiraz - deep and dark berries and spice, almost over extracted but just on the cusp. Goes well with cast-iron duck breast!

  Very nice nose. I don't have much (barely any) experience with mid to higher level Australian Cabs, but this was impressive. I expected less from AUS.
  
  Interesting nose. A touch of earthiness and funk. Definitely enjoyable. Certainly Australian in basic style but much more balanced and delicate than I am used to from them.

  Australia Tasting (One Market, SF): A little menthol / eucalyptus / pyrazines. Very modest use of oak. Dark fruit - blackcurrant. Some cedar, stemmy woodiness. Very nice. Balanced. Medium plus tannins, high alcohol, elevated acid. Ripe but holding it well.
