MARK DAVIDSON'S BOTTLE OF THE WEEK:
Mawson’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 – Wrattonbully, South Australia $ 19.99
Product code : 607192

I am in Australia attending a conference titled Shiraz Alliance. The world has had a long standing love affair with this fantastic variety and it’s easy to understand why. The rich and appealing flavors are very seductive and while I am a tremendous fan of Shiraz one thing struck this week. Aussie Cabernet is delicious.I have spent the last 10 day traveling the vineyard areas Down Under and I think the lost red grape of Australia might be Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Mawson’s 2004 is a beauty for just under $ 20.00. It’s not an enormous full-bodied monster but rather a more mid weight balanced food wine. Great value for a top notch Cabernet.
