Best’s Grampians Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
AU$15, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Grampians.

$15 for a Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Australia’s best wine producers. On face value that’s a pretty interesting proposition. Aldi is the master of bargains like this.

Truth is that it’s not a great wine but that it drinks (very) well. In fact it’s pretty damn satisfying. Licorice, boysenberry and currant flavours team with mint and briar. It feels fresh and it feels sound, and it has no rough edges. It has decent regional/cabernet character too.

89 points – Campbell Mattinson.
