2007 Ballast Stone Cabernet



Taste: 5/5
Value: 5/5
Price: $17

From McClaren Vale, South Australia this Cab reminds me of a Rodney Strong Cab I've had at double the price.  A bouquet that transports you to a leather filled library with cedar, olive and coffee on the full, dense, inky palate.  Lively acidity with a generous, persistent finish.  I Vinturi'd it, but would love to try again decanted for an hour or two.   14.0% alcohol gives nice legs!
