Brands Laira Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Really impressed with the quality of these modern fruit driven wines, they are not just ‘jammy’ but have a backbone with good structure. From Coonawarra region of Australia famed for making fab Cabernet Sauvignon (see Hollick wines), this is classic blackcurrant and mocha notes with sweet spices, soft approachable tannins.

Silver medal IWC 2014. Great at £11.99 even better with £2 a bottle off!
