Wine Description
One of the greatest things about the Great Western wine region is its ability to successfully grow a broad range of grape varieties. Shiraz may be the regional hero, but Cabernet Sauvignon from the area can lay almost equal claim.
Best’s Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon is a fine example of the Great Western Regional style, showing rich, plush, dense fruits.

THE REAL REVIEW – September 2020
Garden mint, curing meat and ripe plum aromatics. Good black fruit drive and sits in the packet with dry earth, tobacco leaf and salted-blood savoury elements. Seamless in its flow, tannins well resolved, and slip of brightening acid just adds to its drinkability. Only medium bodied yet intense and focused. Lot of wine for the price. Drink now – 2030.
