Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Mclaren Vale, South Australia, Australia
This robust Australian Cabernet over-delivers beautifully against its price point. I also love the Shiraz this winery makes. Full-bodied with smoky black fruit. Great concentration and depth with a good finish. Very satisfying. Crack open a bottle (or two) tonight.
