Love the fresh blackberry and minty aromas on this Coonawarra Cabernet with bright and juicy black currant, oak spice, salumi and minty flavours on the palate. Tannins are structured and fine. Pair with ribs from the grill. The Nuagn family has been involved in agriculture for 65 years. Enjoy now and for the next five years.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: lamb Bolognese, grilled New York strip loin with chimichurri sauce, hamburger, braised pork shanks with white beans, hard cheese.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
